*Elemental Carbon can be used (Need to find info on how the released Oxygen would impact the world)

**[[Carbon Fiber]] (Either as reinforcement in [[Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete]] , or in [[Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites]] )
**[[Carbon Foam]]

**[[Graphite]]
==Wood==
*Although less dense, and potentially less stable (burning/decomposition/ [[Indirect Land Use Change]] ) wood can also act as a carbon sink when used in permanent structures
*Can be used as [[Lumber]] or as [[Sawdust Insulation]] / [[Wood Pulp Insulation]]

Basics

  • This page goes over a method of Carbon Storage that utilizes fixing the carbon / carbon dioxide into materials used for producing buildings
  • Thus they are trapped in that building, and usually in a solid form, and thus don't have the cost/dedicated infrastructure needs of Carbon Dioxide Injection, The Risk of Gas Leaks, and the potential volatility of Biochar
