You might not need to go that far to make the overall system economical. Imagine an aircraft carrier retrofitted with this system to generate jet fuel for its planes. If it can synthesize more fuel that its complement of aircraft require (this is likely), then it can be a supply generator for the remote FOB. There's still logistics in shipping from that carrier at sea nearby into the remote FOB, but that becomes a shorter supply line than shipping the equivalent quantity of jet fuel from a refinery in the state of Louisiana to the same FOB.
