Carbon dioxide is not a requirement for the chemical evolution of life. The chemical evolution theory suggests that life began in an environment with little or no free oxygen, requiring a source of energy, availability of chemical building blocks, and time to allow for complex molecules to form. Carbon dioxide, while important for life as we know it, especially for photosynthesis in plants, is not a direct requirement for the initial chemical evolution of life.
