Paper is murdered ground tree bodies. You know from trees

But you are missing the point completely mate. In case you don't know we already make a lot of paper and we have tons and tons of paper waste which could be used for this kind of new tech.

Paper is generally made from fast growing softwood trees like southern pines, loblolly pines, spruces and firs, grown on tree farms specifically for paper making. Not the ideal trees for carbon sequestration, as trees go.
For that you want slower growing hardwood trees, particularly trees like black walnut, silver maple, sycamores, etc.
