Carbon fixation is a process found in autotrophs, usually driven by photosynthesis, whereby carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds. Carbon fixation can also be carried out by the process of calcification in marine, calcifying organisms such as Emiliania huxleyi.

Carbon fixation needs the light reactions to produce ATP and NADPH. Then these chemicals are sent to the stroma of the chloroplast where the carbon is truly fixed into sugar. So carbon fixation needs ATP and NADPH.

Carbon fixation happens during photosynthesis. It requires a light source and water, as well as chlorophyll (usually organized in chloroplasts).
