1. A modular fuel production system comprising:
a first module in which carbon dioxide (CO2) is extracted from an initial gas volume received by the system, wherein at least one of:
before at least some of the CO2 has been extracted, at least a portion of the initial gas volume undergoes pre-conditioning via the first module; and
after at least some of the CO2 has been extracted, at least a portion of a resultant processed gas volume undergoes post-conditioning via the first module;
a second module in which hydrogen (H2) is generated from a water volume received by the system; and
a third module in which a fuel is produced from synthesis of the extracted CO2 and the generated H2.
