I also don't get this claim. There's no chance that the amount of electricity used in the electrolysis can be regenerated 100% by using the hydrogen and oxygen produced.
It further doesn't seem to account for costs of pumping, storage, transport. Nor of handling the saltier byproduct brine. And that's really weird to the point of stupidity since they only have to take a cursory look at desalination plants to get some ideas about the issues at a production scale facility and approaches that can be applied.
Desalination of course is itself causing some issues in places like the [Persian/Arabian] Gulf, the Red Sea, soon the east Mediterranean.
