You start out with a blob of gas that's mostly CO2 with a little

You want to end up with pure nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and excess

What's the simplest way to achieve that?

Well, you want to leave the nitrogen untouched, but convert the carbon
dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen.

That's going to be energy-intensive. If you want a science-fictiony
way, postulate a form of photosynthesis. If you want a real way, then
I'd still go with photosynthesis, but burn the produced plant matter
under oxygen-poor conditions to get CO.
