Except to "throw away the O2 molecules" (which are not O2 molecules
when in the form of CO2 anymore) requires an input of energy equal to
that released by burning the carbon itself initially.  Overall it would
actually require more, due to conversion and efficiency losses in the
process.

So the only way to sustain a conversion of CO2 into O2 and elemental C
would be to utilize solar power as the input energy source.  Using
anything else just burns other carbon atoms into CO2 mollecules to get
the energy to convert the other CO2 mollecules back into O2 and C at
the other end.
