Consider generating electricity using combustion (a common method), of course consuming oxygen in combustion. Then, use that electricity to perform electrolysis of water, generating oxygen. Can there be a net positive production of oxygen? Such technology would be useful on a fossil fuel powered submarine.
Alternatively, instead of electrolysis, use the generated electricity to power some machinery which extracts dissolved oxygen from seawater, like the gills of a fish. Can this be net positive?
