Not sure where "Backyard" came from here. Yes, a 20 foot shipping container fits in many backyards. But most people don't have a use for 50 tons of kerosene per year, nor $750k to spend on this equipment. Nor the electric service to consume 800 kWh per ton of CO2.
Chemical plants in shipping container form factors are awesome, but the point is not so that you can put them in backyards, it's in achieving economies of scale and modularity from central, automated manufacturing sites instead of on-site manual, custom construction.
