Looks like Sandia National Labs already have a solution.

New Reactor Uses Sunlight to Turn Water and Carbon Dioxide Into Fuel
By Clay Dillow Posted 11.23.2009

Talk about a Eureka moment. Scientists at Sandia National Labs,
seeking a means to create cheap and abundant hydrogen to power a
hydrogen economy, realized they could use the same technology to
"reverse-combust" CO2 back into fuel. Researchers still have to
improve the efficiency of the system, but they recently demonstrated a
working prototype of their "Sunshine to Petrol" machine that converts
waste CO2 to carbon monoxide, and then syngas, consuming nothing but
solar energy.
