Earlier quoted context omitted.

What if we would make such an advanced filter, and then make it mandatory in cars. That way cars would 'clean' the air. You'd need to find a process that scales though, so that the 'dirty' filters are processed in a way to get out the carbon and use it somewhere.

Make sugar with the pure carbon, a la photosynthesis? Use electrolysis to split water, get the Hydrogen and Oxygen, insert Carbon, excrete glucose...

Or make direct fuels out of it :P /s (that would not work, otherwise you've created a perpetuum mobile). Would be interesting if you could use your car's surface as a kind of anode.
