Converting CO2 into fuel

As with the other schemes you have mentioned that do the same, it is clever chemistry but why is it a good idea? In what way is it better to make synthetic fuel to continue using ICEs $$$ than it is to use the same electricity to directly power your vehicle? Is it more efficient? Less polluting? There must be some reason to do it, there must be some reason to go to the trouble of developing new technology into mass production of a new product other than because you can.

$$$ Edit: this system doesn’t produce ICE fuel but others previously mentioned do.
