There are several sources for CO2. One is a product of air liquefaction that also produces nitrogen, oxygen and other gases from industrial use.
There is a great deal of CO2 that is produced from underground sources just as natural gas is. There are also many natural gas fields that have a very large component of CO2 in the gas stream that must be stripped before the natural gas is saleable.
It is also possible to get CO2 from the stacks of power plants by installing the proper scrubbing equipment.

Combustion of CH4 (methane) in an O2 atmosphere. The products are CO2 and H2O. The H2O (water) is easily separated.

Producing CO2? Are you serious? We produce mass quantities of it all the time, and we want to get rid of it. It is, by far, our largest pollutant (by volume).
Any time you burn anything, CO2 is a main product.

i would think adding acid to calcium carbonate or any kind of carbonate ,,but also you can find many ways to produce CO2
burning of natural gas can produce CO2 but also some other gases can be associate

I would say as a byproduct of the production of hydrogen (steam reforming) but there are others. It is pretty pure out of the scrubbing plant unlike in combustion gases where it is mixed with nitrogen.
