Should you be investing in the tech that converts excess CO2 in the air into sustainable transportation fuels?

Well, that suggests that there is such a technology and that this company owns it.

Neither is the case. If there is a path forward here, and there is, it doesn’t involve “excess CO2 in the air.” It involves capturing CO2 from point sources like coal-fired power plants and concrete manufacturing facilities, combining it with hydrogen from the electrolysis of water, using huge amounts of off-peak energy from nuclear or wind plants.

The optimum process for synthesizing hydrocarbon fuels in this manner can be found here.
