The first version requires biomass, which means it has all the disadvantages of current biofuels. But their next goal is to remove that requirement. If they succeed, then they will have a process that only needs power, water, and CO2.
It's early stage technology and investment is probably very small right now. Why wouldn't it be when oil is so cheap. But someday the oil fields will start running dry and peak oil will truly come. When oil hits $200, $300 per barrel, the demand for this kind of technology will be immense. EV sales will increase dramatically, but many will be unable to use EV due to lack of personal garages (even Supercharger times are not enough if thats the only way to charge. And only Tesla has access to that, what about Leaf, Bolt, etc?).
A brand new hydrogen infrastructure doesn't seem to fit anywhere in the future. It's too expensive and the benefits are marginal compared to gas (a lot of legacy infrastructure) or EV (an entirely new paradigm using existing electric infrastructure).
