Could we plant trees as a means of capturing carbon? How does it stack up to the existing highest tech forms of carbon capture?

- xnx 4y agoNot really. Trees only temporarily sequester carbon before dying/decaying and releasing their carbon or burning.
- apatheticonion 4y agoWhat if we turned them into charcoal through resistive heating ovens then buried them? It'll cost money, obviously - but more than the current method?
- xnx 4y agoDefinitely possible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochar
