The whole article is leaning a little bit too much on the "what if"-part of things. First it will be important to see whether their first at-scale Prototype actually works next year.

Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't work. All the steps of the process seem like old and proven technology to me. Perhaps the only innovation is this "elastic" CO2 storage for ambient temperature/pressure ?

However, the key information will be performance numbers actually coming out of it
