Elon Musk is giving $100 million to anyone who can find a way to pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or oceans and sequester it durably and sustainably. Personally, I think $100 million is a bargain.

plants do it, so what you mean is, you have to do it cheaper than trees do already, at planetary scale and urgently

AFAIK biomass mostly doesn't permanently sequester carbon. The majority of the carbon in a plant just gets turned back into CO2 when the plant dies Fossil fuels come from (AFAIK) a very small percentage being sequestered over a very long period of time.

true. apparently wetlands, kelp forests, and peatlands are 25x better than even rainforests at sequestration, because biomass sinks below the oxygenated layer
