This doesn't sound like a technology that would scale up to industrial levels, either technically or financially. Production costs of the plant would be phenominal and extremely difficult. It would also produce methonal which when burnt or combusted as fuel releases the CO2 back into the atmosphere. This is not an acceptable solution to the climate problem as you end up with a net zero gain in CO2 reduction and you also use tremendous amounts of energy doing the conversion. So not a solution merely a novelty.
