What market force do you see driving the use of excess energy to sequester carbon? What force is going to ensure enough carbon is sequestered?

Climate change is a kind of prototypical example of a tragedy of the commons. Capitalism has not been particularly noteworthy for solving these sorts of problems. I can certainly see it helping to make renewables more affordable, but that's simply not enough at this point.
