In this study, we evaluated and compared several major carbon sequestration methods based on the first principles, namely, energy use efficiency and elemental stoichiometry. This study suggested that, at present, wood burial is the only feasible carbon sequestration method because it can be implemented immediately on a large scale, is cost-effective and efficient, has a long sequestration time, has low technical requirements, and has a relatively low impact on agriculture.
