https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetogen is a more promising technology in my opinion. It also does not require high pressures or temperatures, has been proven to scale to tons of co2, and uses much less energy than this paper.
This paper has the advantage of not needing a high concentration of co2 in the air. But on the other hand, such sources are readily available as a by-product of industry.
i think acetogens are biological entities, though?
wasn't there some rule about industrial processes being 10x to 100x more efficient than biological beings, in general?
there's no such rule
