Why turn it into charcoal? I guess decomposing would release it? What should one do with the charcoal?

Charcoal is stable in the ground at least for a couple of centuries, probably longer, and reasonably good for plants. So you can just till it under or bury it.
Store it. That's the carbon you've sequestered, now you need to make sure nothing happens with it to turn it back into CO2. Careful in particular that it doesn't just catch fire.

Well charcoal is THE "captured carbon" which you wanted to get.

So.. barbeque time, right?
