Honestly, those numbers seem pretty good to me for a first generation product. As a baseline, at Ontario electricity prices that means I can get my carbon emissions to net zero ignoring any zero lifestyle changes for ~$5000/an. That’s high, but not ludicrous. I assume you could find further savings by further R&D on the process and by integrating electricity production. Now add in lifestyle and other technological changes (EVs, more efficient homes, more responsible purchases, more renewable electricity generation, etc) and we’re IMO into highly viable territory.
