BlackRock invests $550M in world's largest direct air capture plant, that absorbs 500,000 tons of CO2 per year.
A full grown tree absorbs around 20kg/yr, so for 500k tons, we’d need 25 million trees, which would need a forest space of 250 square km (1000 trees/hectare).

For 1/20th the cost of that facility you can just plant trees that would do the job better.
