NO! NO! NO! This video is HUGELY disingenuous!!! Snake oil!! To do what they say they’re doing requires a LOT of energy!! They don’t address how/where they’re getting that energy from!! Simple thermodynamics! Look, I am terrified of the problems of human-induced climate change, and I’m always on the lookout for simple solutions, but this video ignores SO MUCH science that it’s appalling! This is utter garbage. (Sorry, Dear.)
This video brings out a number of questions. 1) In order to run the machines, there is tremendous use of energy — does it use part of the energy it produces? 2) In the engines we currently use, there are always emissions of some sort — what are the emissions that this ‘fuel’ produces? 3) There is a huge cost of conversion — this video implies that we would use the new fuel in current engines — or is there a conversion cost to the user? I could go on — it seems like an interesting technology to explore, but there are a lot more questions that need answers!
It sounds too good to be true — in a car culture such as Southern California, it would help with the air quality as well as with global warming issues! (Sorry I missed the beginning comments — it was an early morning today!)

No.. they explained at the offset that it is used in the same engines that petrol is..One reason why it is cheaper than electric cars..

Hydrogen is a better choice. There are actually quite a few choices. But until we stop catering to the oil lobby, we aren’t going to do anything.
