It is. But it would need all world governments to unite - so theoretically absolutely possible (remember CFCs?), practically I’m this environment? No.
So you need countries to “go the long way” doing it now up to 2030 (so production capacity can ramp up) and simply forcing the fossile competition out of the market by being cheaper.
Man, I think you need to read up and understand the processes on how synthetic fuel is actually made. Because it takes a massive amount of energy to make the stuff. The only carbon neutral way to do it would take even more energy. It’s only going to be scalable to a replacement of gasoline level if you start strapping nuclear power plants to all the hydrolysis and carbon air capture machines you’d need.
You should keep up with developments ;) There are a number of different ways to produce “synthetic” fuels, specifically from special plants, that grow in very difficult environments (like deserts), there’s also different algae plants in scale testing (Mexico has some of the largest) and so on.
Apart from that, the argument that it needs huge amounts of power is pretty mute.
Then you’d know it’s not possible to make enough synthetic fuel to supply current demand.
