"Mind blowing" is hype. Especially at 20MW proposed capacity, for a plant not yet built.

CAES (compressed air energy storage) is already a thing, and this is an interesting variant.

Maybe not mind-blowing, but it sounds like a cost-effective and reliable solution. And the 20MW is for a single plant, the proposal talks about multiple plants at the same site.

No, it's certainly not the perfect end-all solution, but it seems to deserve being part of the mix.

I'm not saying that the tech is bad: I am objecting to the trashy clickbait title.

Read the actual article.

It is closed loop. No CO2 leaves the system.
