Once you're already committed to green hydrogen (electrolysis-made hydrogen) you may as well go whole hog and do green methane (methane made through the Sabatier process, which consumes Hydrogen and CO2).

Making a methane-powered jetliner is far more practical than a hydrogen-powered one.

That's right, but there's an even better option: making synthetic kerosene from green H2 and CO2 so it can be used in existing jetliners.
