It looks like snake oil. The efficiency of the process is not

And how much energy is required in the production? I also suspect that

Its just more technobollox trying to keep the green wet dream alive.
Like all green****e, its technically possible and commercially
catastrophic.
If you ignore the "green" aspect, then its a technology that may at some
point be useful. In a world with abundant nuclear power, there will
still be a demand for the energy density carbon fuels can deliver. So
additional techniques to synthesise them from existing environmental
carbon may become mainstream.
No need to ignore a technology, just because the spin someone sticks on it.
