The goal with trees is to grow them and not wait for them to rot, but instead use them as building material where the carbon they captured can be "frozen in place" for potentially hundreds of years and replant new trees in their place.

Places that produce electricity via polluting means shouldn't be investing in carbon capture but instead trying to make that production green to begin with, but places like Quebec where all electricity comes from renewables should invest in it to cancel the use of non renewables in other fields.

Okay, those tactics seem sound.

On the subject of wood specifically, I've read a few articles in the last decade or so about techniques for treating and using wood in ways that have the potential to dramatically reduce our use of concrete. Given the carbon footprint of cement, that seems like a positive development.
