Thanks. Garcia Oliver. Plants absorb CO 2, of course, but they take up a lot of room and are slow, inefficient CO 2 absorbers. 2 scrubbers use chemicals that don't meet your criteria. Monoethanolamine (MEA) is used to scrub carbon dioxide from gas streams, but it's corrosive and toxic in very small amounts.hanks. Garcia Oliver.

In this way, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil in a more disordered state are combined to form the more ordered sugar molecules. Carbon dioxide is captured in a cycle of reactions known as the Calvin cycle or the Calvin-Benson cycle after its discoverers. It is also known as just the C3 cycle.
