Propellant production for a Martian settlement will probably use water from the [[regolith]] and [[CO2]] from the atmosphere to produce [[Methane]] and [[oxygen]].

[[Electrolysis]] is used to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is stored for use as a propellant. The hydrogen is combined with CO2 to produce methane and water using the [[Sabatier process|Sabatier]] process. The water is stored for reuse, and the methane as the chemical fue for the Methane-Oxygen (Methalox) propulsion system.

The image illustrates the process to create the propellant required for a large SpaceX Starship type vehicle over a period of two years ( an Earth MArs Synod).
