Sure. There are plenty of such things. For example, elemental magnesium will happily bind carbon dioxide into pretty inert magnesium carbonate. But to _get_ that elemental magnesium, you need to expend energy, because elemental magnesium can't be found in nature.
There is only one realistic option: rock weathering. Silicate rocks can react with carbon dioxide to produce calcium carbonate and (eventually) silicon dioxide.
