there is none on Jupiter, Moon, only a trace on Pluto or Titan.
CO2 is formed by the action of oxygen on methane (CH4).
Since there is no free interstellar oxygen, all oxygen on Venus
was derived from UV splitting of water.

Two molecules of H2O were destroyed for the creation of

at least twice as much water as current CO2. John Curtis
