    Where did you get that figure from?  They didn't give any specifics on the energetics of the catalyst.  They don't even have a final product yet.  It's a good guess, but it's hard to say for sure.

    No it is not.  In the absence of other info, using the typical efficiency of water hydrolysis is fine.  Using any other figure would be irresponsible and show a complete misunderstanding of physics.  A catalyst only makes a reaction happen.  It cannot change the overall efficiency.  That would violate the law of conservation of energy.
