Date: 2017-06-08 11:16 am (UTC)In a future where non-dispachable renewables make up a large part of the electricity supply I think this is the sort of thing you might use to take up surplus power for grid balancing with a useful product.
I'm not sure what you do to sequester the carbon. I saw some suggesting just dumping blocks of pure carbon covered in concrete in subduction zones on the sea floor and thus inserting the carbon in to the lithosphere. I wonder if you could use it to make construction diamond and if so, would replacing all our built infrastructure over 200 year with diamond instead of concrete and steel. I don't know how much the built environment weighs if built of diamond.
