The &quot;win&quot; here is that if you have a source of &quot;carbon free&quot; energy (on their web site they mention solar, wind, and nuclear) you can pull CO2 out of the air and make it available for other processes (like Fischer-Tropsch) which can combine it with Hydrogen and turn it back into long chain organics.<p>As far as relevance goes, this is an interesting bridge technology. One could imagine a massive solar plan in the Sahara that was using its output to produce diesel fuel. Transporting diesel long distances is more feasible than transporting electricity and you can use it when you need it and store it when you don&#x27;t.<p>If one of the several fusion efforts start generating excess energy this is one way to use that energy productively. You reduce airborne CO2 (good for the climate) and you produce fuel for later.[1]<p>Compressed CO2 is also used in a number of industrial processes so you can just sell the stuff if you want to make back money.<p>[1] And yes that re-releases CO2 into the air but if you&#x27;re pulling it out to make it the result is a net-zero impact on CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
