Depending on investment, greater than 100% growth is not necessarily absurd. The article is about the carbon capturing capability of a single, essentially PoC plant. Carbon Engineering is building a plant that will -- according to their own press release, anyway -- capture up to a megaton of carbon annually (https://carbonengineering.com/our-story/)
Either way, it remains to be seen how effective carbon capture plants will be. A lot depends on investment and proving a business model. Renewables have the upper hand on fossil fuels now, because they solve a proven business problem, cheaper. Carbon capture companies have to prove that there's even a market for their services. Although, some would advocate for a Keynesian approach to building out mass DaC infrastructure funded directly from federal spending.
Changing agricultural practices probably has a better outlook for carbon sequestration at the moment.
