Isn’t the point of most carbon capture schemes to use renewables (likely solar) as the energy source. Like Terraform Industries?
Don’t know if it will work or is economically viable, but sounds pretty win-win to me.

Modern solar definitely makes this idea more attractive but you’re still emitting more carbon to build the solar in the hopes you’ll store more than you produced in X years. It is not a great value proposition versus making the grid more efficient or just emitting less by using that solar for the grid instead of sequestration.
