Can dry ice, which is compressed CO2, be used to run a piston engine?

Not a piston engine, but a turbine engine driven by the controlled release of pressurized CO2 might provide peaker energy when there is a high demand for electricity. Since I do not know what technologies will be used to sequester CO2, I am only guessing that there might be an advantage to be found. Heat energy is release in the creation of CO2.

Perhaps another form of enery might reverse the process and break the carbon to oxygen bonds. Wishful thinking, perhaps. Thanks!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
