Yes, but (1) the atmosphere is a lot thicker here, and (2) we would need to power it with green energy. The combination of 1 and 2 means that we would have to build a lot of renewable energy infrastructure dedicated to doing this instead of using that infrastructure to replace fossil fuel generation.
If it makes sense at all, I think that it would make more sense to deploy a solution like MOXIE-at-scale *after* we have replaced fossil fuel power generation. There's an argument that says that the planet itself could clean up the excess CO2 reasonably quickly once we stop adding more.
