The products are not yet crystolecules so they are not yet in the mechanosphere.
The products are feed-stock suitable for mechanosphere ingress (or long term storage).
Mechanosphere matter ingress
From feedstock to crystolecules and assemblies thereof.
Pathways into the mechanosphere
Air only mode
See related page: Air as a resource
For more indirect procurement see: Carbon capture buoy scenario
Limited to volatile elements only. That is products are combustible.
Not necessarily easily though. Diamond and aromatic ring rich structures can be quite hard to ignite and keep burning.
Large scale dispersed material structures are better to avoid for fire safety.
Hydrocarbon mode
The hydrocarbon operation mode is (just like the air only mode)
limited to volatile elements only. Thus same in terms of fire (un)safety of products.
As the carbon source is concentrated and in itself an energy carrier.
Production can be faster and independent of an external energy source.
An option for supply would be tapping the natural gas network for (by then hopefully mostly green)
methane CH4 (or some other by then delivered carbon carrying gas).
That is: If these networks (or parts of them like connection to private households)
are not being removed by then due to energy political reasons.
Gasoline as feedstock may perhaps be feasible, ethanol too. Many options here.
Smaller molecules likely come with lesser impurity complications.
Large capsule transport. I.e. Macroscale object transport via some form of advanced tube mail.
General mode
The general mode adds non-volative elements to the mix,
allowing more base material gemstone compounds to be produced.
This may not be as noticable as one might think as even with only volatile elements for the based base gemstones
gemstome beased metamaterials can provide an incredibly vast range of material properties already.
Particularly relevant is that nonvolatile elements are slack forming and thus
can provide full incombustibility of produchts for absolute fire safety.
This operation mode depends on delivery of feedstock procured by
mining and mechanosphere pre-ingress (cvered further up).
Supply of nonvolatile element feedstock via small capsule transport via the
global microcomponent redistibution system may become the best and most used option.
