Carbon capture is problematic. If I remember the area required to reduce C02 would be the size of Georgia and the air intake would be pulling in hurricane force winds. The numbers could be off but it would be a massive project that would require to be built by probably CO2 dumping infrastructure like factories.

Personally I'd say it would be better to colonize the Pacific Ocean so algae goes in deep ocean to be a carbon sink

I've heard that's why the carbon capture is best done directly out of the machinery that creates the carbon dioxide.

It works much better if you use a concentrated pipeline of CO2 like emissions from a fossil fuel power plant. Of course they tried that with carbon capture and it was still too expensive.
