probably not fraud, just a stupid reporter. from this and the other article it's pretty clear that this is some kind of catalysed oxidation. it's effectively "burning" the fuel in a way that efficiently generates electricity, which is neat, but means that carbon dioxide will be one of the byproducts (and this was mentioned in the earlier article). so that part of the article ("no emissions") is simply wrong (note that it's not a direct quote - it's background from the journalist, who was probably copying from info on a hydrogen fuel cell, not understanding that hydrocarbon fuelled cells burn carbon and so generate carbon dioxide).
