I believe the Californian Redwoods are very good at this but one of their main disadvantages is they take forever to grow in their native climate.
Ironically, they grow much faster on the other side of the world (New Zealand) due to its wetter climate but the wood is not as hard due to this so they aren't useful in construction. Basically the ultimate carbon sync and useless for humans.
