Plants are pretty good at capturing carbon, why would anyone want something more expensive and difficult?

The area of plants needed to capture current CO2 emissions would be impossibly large. The energy efficiency of photosynthesis is horrible. In contrast, mineral carbonation is an exothermic process, in principle requiring no energy input.
