I think what the means is that when making liquid CO2 you use a cryo-cooler. That cooler condenses the gas out of the air. Air contains CO2 and nitrogen (plus some other stuff). The games aren’t created but rather just a state change. Cryo coolers also take energy to run.

They said during the production process, not on release.

I’m pretty sure the “production” process is just compressing atmospheric air and separating out the other gases. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen.

Ooh I misread that as being on activation, good catch
