I wonder .... Currently, Carbon Dioxide is less than 0.1% of the atmosphere (300 to 400 ppm). If the output of a syngas generation facility were cooled and then piped into a large greenhouse to increase the CO2 concentration (say up to 3,000 ppm) but stay below the threshold set by Federal Exposure Standard (5,000 ppm), would the plants be able to "take up" the excess CO2?
Would this "plant favorable" environment actually improve plant growth and possible food production???

Syngas generates around 30,000 ppm CO2.

It would work better with some plants than others, but the amount of greenhouse needed would be enormous. This would be better:
