Ok, unless you have a gas powered generator the syngas won't run your house. Now consider the opportunity of not only making gas for yourself, but your neighbors as well. Why would they want gas from you? Well it's possible that if electrics take over, then filling stations with gasoline will be phased out into charging stations. When that starts to happen then people with antique vehicles will find the cost of gas to be very high and maybe some distance away. Unfortunately the government will probably pass laws against making your own gas, especially if you are selling it. (License, fire codes, things like that).
I think we're several decades away from any issues with gasoline availability.
I have no issues with a technology that can produce a carbon neutral fuel...I just don't see the value for homeowners to invest in one at this time, especially when they could invest in solar, that has uses outside of transportation...and could potentially make money for them when they sell excess energy back to "grid."
