Great idea, wishing you luck!
While carbon removal today is inefficient, it's not set in stone to always be that way. For example, olivine is super interesting - one of the most abundant minerals on earth - it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere passively when ground down into small pieces. The Cascade Mtns in Washington state are full of the stuff and not far from the beach. The ocean grinds rocks into sand all day with zero carbon costs. With the right combination of luck and strategy, I don't see why some forms of carbon removal can't eventually be extremely cheap. It might be the greenest thing we can do to literally turn our beaches green!
This is nice for folks like me who make business SaaS so we can add a nice line item "removes some carbon!" to the checkout list. I know to some, that's probably disgusting and cynical, but I strongly prefer surrounding myself with optimists, so, it works for me!
