I maintain a large garden and bury probably tons of organic matter underneath and in the beds. It is a pittance of carbon capture and no solution. Here is a fun video about carbon capture. [VIDEO]

Atmospheric carbon capture seems like an petroleum industry scam to me (check the 'Members' page of that website.) In principle it's what plants do, but plants do it using scale; there's a whole bunch of them. CO2 is under 500ppm in our air, and air isn't particularly dense in the first place; the amount of air you'd need to move through your capture plant is immense. On the Costs & Outlook page of this site, they list their potential feedstocks; it's all biomass, except for the 'Technical Potential "Unlimited"' column, which mentions Power-to-Liquids. But how does that actually work and does it actually make sense? Related parody of carbon capture: [VIDEO]
