Hello John. Naturally, the use of plants for removal of CO2 was the first scheme considered. However, even in this scheme, CaO is a useful material to have for other uses besides CO2 removal. Someone has asked me to consider the fact that plants can get a large portion of their needed nutrients (including Ca) from lunar regolith. The proficiency of plants at this might even be used as an extractive technique. Sincerely, C. Michael Edwards AKA Darkfyre
