At first I thought it was fake, but it’s apparently legit, but perhaps they need still a few years to make it practical. They use the CO2 and H2O to produce fuel. They don’t explain this clearly, but this use a ton of electricity. My guess is that they expect to plug this to a nuclear reactor in the ship and the main problem in the middle of the sea is to get the atoms to produce the fuel.
