Or instead of wasting all this effort on a dead end that will solve nothing, you could be focusing on how natural ecosystems have already been doing this for a billion years. The Rhizosphere already absorbs carbon and stores it in living soil as living organisms, and then as dead decaying material trapped below the active upper layers. Attempts to synthetically replace the job the Rhizosphere is supposed to do is what caused the climate crisis in the first place. Doing more of it is not a solution. Properly managed natural ecosystem already sequester carbon. All we need to do is rehabilitate some of the billions of hectare we dug up gassed off and continuously poison to enable crop production that depends on sterility and agrochemical synthetics. And since you probably have never seen the word Rhizosphere in your entire lives, you should probably do some research on what the Rhizosphere is, and exactly how all those thousands of gigatons of Carbon-12 are being accounted for in the climate models you are using. Because up until around 15 years ago, there was no Rhizosphere in any climate model. And if thousands of gigatons worth of carbon are missing from the carbon models we are all using to make decisions, how can anyone be making the right decisions? They can't. So maybe, finish the model before support solutions for repairing it. Kinda difficult to repair a motor vehicle if you don't know how the fuel system works. Can't imagine the climate crisis any easier to solve than a Buick that won't fire up.
