You can't get rid of Carbon. The amount in the ground & air has been constant for billions of years. You can only change its form.

It's widely accepted that carbon in the form of CO2 in our atmosphere is bad (above 350ppm, anyway) for the planet. CO2 in gaseous or liquid state sequestered elsewhere is also (IMO) not a good enough solution.

But carbon in solid form, will surely have commercial value and NOT pose a problem to store/sequester, nor does it risk getting back into out atmosphere (well, that depends on how it's used, of course).

Carbon-sequestration is the wrong term.. it should be called Carbon-dioxide sequestration, and yes.. it's dumb. But carbon in the form of a valuable solid (either pure, or in some other carbon-containing solid powder, pellets, salts, etc.) is a GREAT way to deal with C in our air. If it can be extracted from air to produce a solid C-based product, and done profitably, we have a major major game changer on our hands and maybe just maybe I will stop telling my kids that their grandkids may be touring Wall St. on a glass bottom boat.

Indeed, if CarbonEngineering can't create a valuable C-based product from their process, then they may well want to see if they can adapt their C-absorbing machines to produce other products (such as Mantra's formic salt process).
