System for revitalizing breathing air in enclosed environment converts carbon dioxide and water to oxygen and methane. Chemical conversions take place in reactor module containing solid-metal-cathode water electrolyzer integrated with Sabatier reactor. According to design estimates, fully developed version of system sized to maintain breathable air for four persons, occupies 67 percent less volume, weighs 60 percent less, and consumes 3.4 percent less power than system of same capacity in which electrolyzer and Sabatier reactor are distinct components. Although oxygen primary desired end product in system originally contemplated, product methane also of value in industrial version of system.
