Plantstones!!!
Plants that make their own charcoal !
You can see the show here
The 7.30 Report - ABC
Look for "Australian Scientists Discover Carbon Storage Solution"

Therefore, unlike most plant matter
which readily decomposes in soil returning CO2 to the atmosphere, the
carbon in plantstones effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere for
millenia."

Grassy crops seem to be good at this, like sugar cane and bamboo.
So it make be competition for the "Tree Huggers"?
Back to the drawing board to do more sums on carbon sequestration- better by grass or trees?!!!
