Flagrant disregard for thermodynamics and conservation of mass in this post. The carbon has to go somewhere, and removing it from flue gasses will always be extremely energy intensive
But converting isn't the same as what you're suggesting
Converting, on a chemical level, always means either combining or breaking apart atoms into or from molecules. To get O2 from CO2 you need to break off the Carbon atom. It will be left over. Where does it go?
