There is no market for such a thing now in an era where AGCC is a crisis.
There did remain some use for solvent extraction of 'renewable' carbon, e.g. from torrefied biomass, but with current concentration on full zero-carbon rather than zero-net-carbon that, too, can be deprecated as a subject for active research.
On the other hand, the free-piston gasifier remains an interesting technology, particularly with the advent of practical variable-geometry power turbines.
