Sounds like a scam.

Alane is not a friendly chemical, it's pyrophoric and incompatible with water. It can be produced by hydrogenation of aluminum at 10GPa and 600C, rather hellish conditions, or by electrolysis of sodium-aluminum-hydride using a mercury cathode, two more easily handled chemicals.

They do not quote any details, no numbers, and we are supposed to believe they made this process safe and cheap?
