What you’re basically doing is sucking carbon out of the atmosphere, liquefying it into the jet fuel, then you put that in the aeroplane,
So when it goes out the back of the aeroplane. You’re just moving carbon around in a circle.

I thought you couldn't patent perpetual motion machines.

I assume the carbon isn't converted into jet fuel by the aircraft, it's a separate process. Being able to take CO2 and water and solar energy and convert it into hydrocarbons plus oxygen would be the dream goal, it effectively becomes carbon-neutral and provides a way to use solar power in the dark because you get to convert solar energy into chemical energy to be used later.
