A 50% reduction in the emissions associated with flying, with no additional changes to the infrastructure involved is a game changer. If we can do this for planes, then ships and trains aren't far off.

Yup - that's exactly the take-away they would like the reader to have.

But (as noted in the article I linked to), apparently has significant scalability issues, and (because of sourcing and transport issues) is not "100 percent" emissions-free.
