Plants remove CO₂ from the atmosphere

	Therefore, to successfully remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, you should: Let plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to plant biomass. Consue the part of the biomass that suits you and your fellow ceatures (crop production) Convert the biomass to charcoal Bury the charcoal into (agricultural) soil.
The only effective way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere is to delegate the job to plants. They do it wonderfully efficient. They transform the CO2 to biomass, which is a solid subsance. They not only stow away the gas, as in the CCS process. However, the storage time of plants is only 150 years or less. Some parts of the biomass can be used directly, as food or industrial raw material. Do that! The stuff that is left over, as scrap wood, boughs, twigs and tips (or wood grown for the purpose), haulm, husk, purposely grown crops, as industrial hemp (on the picture) Miscanthus and bamboo, can all easily be charred. After the biomass is converted to charcoal , it is put into agricultural soil (biochar). Well there, it improves the soil and holds the carbon away from the atmosphere for thousands of years.

Biochar is defined as : Charcoal or biomass-derived black carbon that is added to soil to improve soil fertility, nutrient retention, and carbon content. See also: http://biochar.pbwiki.com/
