To be fair you can use the captured carbon for building or for carbon rivers so its not completely useless. Just way to expensive.

Problem the first: carbon capture is too expensive

Problem the second: when you do carbon capture you get CO2 gas

I'm starting to like the idea of growing forests, cutting down those forests, cooking the wood to ~~charcoal~~ activated carbon (in solar furnaces perhaps) and storing near pure solid carbon
