This needs to scale, but it's a brilliant solution (at least until we have advanced nanotech to do the job even more efficiently and larger scale):

Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.

"to capture 1% of global emissions by 2025" . . . "This could offset the annual carbon footprint of 375 average Americans."
Hopefully, this catches on. It probably will. But, nanomanufacturing will happen sooner!
Since the 1980s, the predicted date for advanced nanotech has been 2025. There’s not a lot of time left, so I’m a bit concerned. OTOH the Human Genome Project was at 1% completed just seven years before it was 100% completed, so...
