Another New Battery Technology

It seems like the atmospheric carbon dioxide part is just showmanship.

For the rest, yet another place where carbon nano tubes will produce miracles once we learn to build them efficiently and cheaply.

The following three technologies show the greatest potential:

• Reduction-Oxidation Flow
• Solid-State Lithium-Ion
• Metal-Air

Interesting. I'm surprised they didn't say anything about Magnesium, which seems to be a more likely candidate than those three from what I've read - either the generic Magnesium-Ion or Magnesium-Sulphur:

Still some problems to solve, but the dual electron ionization means great energy density if it can be figured out, and it sounded like the Mg-S version was getting kinda close.
