From paper - this rechargeable battery uses sodium and co2 during discharge, creating baking soda and releasing hydrogen (which can be used for anything) from water. You can recharge sodium for anode releasing oxygen and chloride (from saltwater). Also cathode is nonconsumable and doesn't clog with reactants or some other elements which could be in solution (typical problem with similar batteries). So it essentially binds CO2 in baking soda on discharge and doesn't release it on recharge. Perfect for carbon capture. Also it can run continuously, just needs changing anodes occasionally. Recharge can be in another cell or even in some factory.
