According to the article:

As well as demonstrating a way to clean up transport, the trials suggest carbon dioxide has an economic value. It is worth US$18 a kilogram as a battery material, the researchers estimate.

Co-author and mechanical engineer Cary Pint said:

This unlocks this whole space of research. Now you can take CO2 and use it to make products to overcome big challenges in technology.
