There is lots of research into cardon capture and storage or finding another use for it. Everything from using the carbon dioxide gas itself through to growing diamonds. None are anywhere near to being commercially viable. Although, it's going to be vital to deploy such systems on a huge scale to achieve net zero. We'll probably do it regardless of whether it will be profitable. I'm no expert but it seems to me like graphite is somewhere on the opposite side of a sweetspot for the tchnology. Not valuable enough to easily commercialise but also pretty difficult to make. Anyway, so called bio graphite will be many years away from production on a large scale while in the meantime the expected explosion in graphite demand will still need to be filled.
