This method captures CO2 and stores it on calcium carbonate and produces green hydrogen at the same time. It can use treated seawater. Article has a link to the research paper. The world needs carbon capture on a massive scale. This is interesting because it accomplishes both green hydrogen generation and CO2 capture. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/03/30/australian-scientists-remarkable-renewably-powered-carbon-capture-breakthrough/
