Tried to read their FAQ but it is sort of handwavy. Do you have any links on the research behind this tech? I understand it uses CO2 from the atmosphere and solar + wind to build hydrocarbons? But what are the technical details there? How is this being done and why wasn't this done sooner?

Kerosene from fossil fuels is a lot cheaper than synthetic fuels.
