You would have to bury them really deep to prevent them from being converted fully back to CO2, or worse methane, by other organisms.

    We have a simple biologocial solution for all of that. Peatlands. They transfer the carbon into more and more stable chemical compounds that end up being sequestered. All the coal that is extracted now used to be peat some hundred million years ago.
