Whereas the CO2 has to be kept warehoused _forever_ or else
there's
no point in warehousing it.

What about converting the CO2 to carbonate? I think this is
how
some
scrubbers operate.

The product of which (Na2CO3, K2CO3, CaCO3) could be sold to off
set
the cost of scrubbing.

The product carbonates also take up less volume to store.

And how much market is there for them?

Not sure. But, there is a need for them, so the market must be
there. The goal is not really to market the product, but to
produce
the product and reduce the raw material.

But if there's no market you still end up storing it.

You could give it away free. People use carbonate compounds in
industry. They would gladly take it away for you.

And what would they do with it? Remember, you can't allow any uses
that result in it releasing CO2--if you do then you may as well not
have wasted your time making it in the first place. That means no
baking with sodium bicarbonate, no making cement out of calcium
carbonate, etc.
