Tying up the carbon for 25-50 years reduces CO2 levels now and thus immediate greenhouse impacts while allowing for energy production and industrial carbon sequestration methods to catch up. Think of it as a carbon mortgage, if you will, or the various peak-flattening mitigations at the start of the pandemic. We need more creative approaches like this to dampen the impact of climate change, especially while our energy is still dirty.
