My immediate question when I hear about how plants can capture carbon is: yes, but how will you ensure that it doesn't get released as part of the natural carbon cycle when the plant dies. You need to bury it all before it decomposes or it'll end up right back where it started.
Sidenote: I wonder what this tastes like.
- arrosenberg 6y agoThis is only a half-serious answer, but some kind of fungal aggregate that outputs calcium carbonate as a byproduct would be awesome.
