That's cool, guess the full cycle carbon footprint is dependent on what you use to power the water + co2 -> methane process.

If they use natural gas (methane) to make electricity to make synthetic methane, I will cry

They need to be able to do it on Mars, so the only options are solar or nuclear power.

I'm sure that was included in the plan. It's a perfect application for solar power.
