Capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and burying it in the ground strikes me as sophomoric. Besides sequestering twice as much oxygen as carbon, reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by such artificial means would only encourage additional emissions of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels by creating a perception that the CO2 problem is not all that bad. The only sensible solution is to stop emissions of CO2 by using renewable energy, including nuclear energy.

Seafuel is a common-sense solution to the CO2 emissions problem. Instead of treating CO2 as a "bad" compound to be got rid of, Seafuel uses CO2 as a useful compound for energy transport, storage, and use, resulting in net zero emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. The planet could recover to pre-industrial levels of CO2 within a few decades of ending CO2 emissions.

I'm not sure if it's better to reduce iron ore with hydrogen or with electrolysis, as Boston Metal is pioneering.
