It relies on a renewable energy source to convert the CO2 back into formic acid etc. producing some further energy in the the form of a combustible product. This model just transfers the problem from one place to another. Have they not heard of the law of conservation of energy. It is more practical to produce the renewable energy as a fossil fuel substitute in the first place and not go through some convoluted process which gives the same final answer.
