Are you talking about

A scalable self replicating and self sustaining carbon capture technology that uses a mix of highly specialized biological processes to turn CO2 into engineering grade composite construction material, fuel and fertilizer.

You can't earn the big money with it, so the capitalism isn't interested. Planting a tree is almost for free. Maybe if we could file a patent on trees or something like that. Let's ask Nestlé how they did it with water

A more apt comparison would be Monsanto with corn.
