Here is a hint. There can't be any net energy gain. That would be perpetual motion. There is some heat produced, if anything by the fuel cell. And not comes out of the energy equation.

Uh, I got that. I'm not a scientist, but I did have 9th grade science in high school. It was JF talking about perpetual motion machines.

This is a way to store energy. Not produce it.

Right, and it takes energy to do it. So, is the energy consumption in the process sufficiently small that it is feasible to utilize the technique? We don't know, because they didn't say.
