"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.

like this is great idea converting co2 in to liquid and generating energy...

Read the actual article.

It is closed loop. No CO2 leaves the system.
