is is possible to make captured carbon back into a useful solid form?

Question

For many years now I have wondered why we aren’t able to turn the air captured carbon into useful things like carbon fiber or carbon nanotube batteries. surely there must be some way of doing this through the magic of chemistry.

Carbon is turned into a useful form all the time. Wood, grass, natural gas, oil, coal to name a few useful forms. Oh, you want it done quickly, and there is the problem.
