As far as I can see the only practical widespread carbon capture process we have is plant growth (and pyrolisis). That might be possible for some fraction of global emissions (maybe 5-10%), but once you get above that you have to be cutting down quite significant amounts of forest.

It all seems like a lot more work than just not extracting the carbon from the ground in the first place.

It could really only be scaled with deep water aquaculture, there's just not enough areable land.
