NASA has technology, MOXIE, to convert CO2 into oxygen. Why isn't the technology utilized to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Earth's atmosphere?

It would seem this could be the answer to reversing global warming. If we can do it on Mars, we definitely should be able to do it on Earth. Mars doesn't even have a suitable atmosphere to hold oxygen.

You will need about 100 kcal to convert 44g of CO2 into oxygen and carbon.
The energy will come from combustion of carbon to CO2, most likely.
