” The biopolymers are combined with graphene, a variant of carbon (or allotrope , to be precise) whose modern rediscovery and isolation at the University of Manchester in 2004 led to a Nobel Prize. Toraphene can be optimized to mostly produce CO2 along with mulch that can be used to fortify topsoil.

But in the 21st century, the mythical philosophers’ stone might produce not gold, but graphene, a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with so many industrial uses that it’s more valuable by weight than the 24 karat stuff. It doesn’t enter the carbon cycle again.”. And that transformation may no longer be a fantasy.
