The plant will be built in Texas using a supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) turbine from Toshiba. The plant will demonstrate NET Power's Allam Cycle technology, which uses CO2 as a working fluid to drive a combustion turbine and produces pipeline-quality CO2 that can be sequestered or used in various industrial processes such as enhanced oil recovery.

Is it a PR gimmick or for real? I'm thinking gimmick. Based upon my own studies of the issue, it doesn't seem likely that you will ever find an economical way to remove carbon from fossil fuels. This means to have a carbon free fuel source, you must eliminate carbon. However, this isn't acceptable. Fortunately, there's always nuclear power.
