This is a crazy scheme. If you want CO2, there are much easier places to recover it than from AIR. Flue gas of furnaces/boilers, chemical plants that make it as a byproduct, etc.
Worse, their whole plan needs a source of hydrogen, which they claim will come from green energy electrolysis - but the math doesn't work well. You'd need nuclear reactors or big hydro dams to make enough to make fuels at scale.
And it won't be carbon neutral because of the second law...
