Gotta sneak it in the side... let's try "who can build the largest/most diamonds from atmospheric carbon".

Oh. It's a thing. I thought it was an onion type site for a few moments.
It's a start. Honestly, industrial grade diamonds - the small ones with poor optical quality that go into abrasives, saws - would be even better. And that would side-step the elephant in the room: upsetting the DeBeers diamond cartel.
That said, we need a staggering amount of renewable energy to pull this off, but it's doable. And as far as sequestration goes, the only tech we have that's anywhere near as good is turning CO2 into plastic and permanently burying it in landfills. That's how important this is.
I think biochar production is pretty effective and scalable. Check this company out: https://bioforcetech.com/
