Read the article. They're hoping to mass manufacture the enzymes involved, which have the following advantages over carbon capture through plant life:

Can work in much harsher environments, with higher operating temperatures, pressures, and acidity.
Captures the carbon in calcium carbonate, which is more stable in retaining the carbon compared to decomposing plant matter.
Works much faster than plants do
