The most common process for making liquid fuels from natural gas or coal, a process known as Fischer-Tropsch, needs temperatures on the order of 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Dineen wont specify the temperature needed for Silurias process, but says it is far lower. It is also less complex, requiring less-specialized equipment.

Plenty of heat for a back end Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.
