Would take a lot of wood; there are some fast growing but
otherwise useless trees (you-clipped-us, for example) that
would be suitable for this purpose.

I hesitate to mention hemp (since my impression is that most
of the people pushing hemp are really more interested in the
wacky tabaky variety) but hemp (the non-psychoactive kind)
does have some seriously good points. It's fast growing,
nitrogen fixing, produces what's apparently a good quality
fiber, and if you grow a big excess and bury the excess...
I think it would be pulling carbon out of the air faster
than trees, which are pretty slow growing.

There may be other plants that are even better at this.
