> no carbon dioxide is emitted during the launch or into the atmosphere
It takes a lot of energy to capture that hydrogen and oxygen beforehand. The same energy that the rocket releases, plus losses due to process inefficiencies.
Maybe they take pains to use only renewables. If not, they likely emitted plenty of CO2 in advance of the launch.
