"Story at a glance

Elon Musk and the XPRIZE Foundation invited individuals and teams from all across the world to create and demonstrate viable ways to pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or oceans and to store it in an “environmentally benign way.”

Fifteen teams will be selected for the competition over 18 months and will each get $1 million, while 25 separate $200,000 scholarships will be given to student teams.

The remaining $80 million will be distributed to the winners. The grand prize winner will take $50 million, second place $20 million and third place $10 million." The Hill

Hope it works.

Figure out a way to stop the slash/burning of the Amazon rain forests, the greatest carbon sink on the planet.

Spot on. Why put money into fixing something instead of not breaking it in the first place?

Forcing people to not do economic activity just costs money. Selling carbon sequestering systems makes money. It's simple capitalism.
