Copying Plants

As plants use carbon dioxide and free electrons derived from water to turn carbon dioxide into carbohydrates (please excuse the simplistic nature of the overview of photosynthesis, i realise what i just said barely scratches the surface but run with me on this) Couldnt we do the same with CO2 admitted from power stations?, firs electrons at it under the right conditions and simply make by-product carbohydrates out of it?

What/which gases fill the cavity in the middle of some fruits before they are pealed? I was pealing a Pomelo fruit and suprised by the large space in its center. I wonder what fills that space before air goes in when its pealed.
