Some captured CO2 might be used with cheap electricity to make carbon neutral fuel - which is of course a form of stored energy itself. A pilot project in Germany is doing this[1]:

> The green hydrogen will be combined with carbon dioxide captured from the cement plant to produce synthetic methanol, which would then be refined into carbon-neutral synthetic kerosene (ie, aviation fuel), for use at the nearby Hamburg airport. The airport is hoping that 5% of all fuel used there will be carbon-neutral by 2025.
