It likely wouldn't be Jet-A that's synthesized, it would be some sort of bio diesel that would have to get approval. GA still uses leaded gas because the industry is so slow to change and everyone is terrified of having to re-certify (STC) existing aircraft or add additional fueling infrastructure. It's a far more complex issue than I can describe here but it works as a useful analogy.
Electric aircraft, however, sound really good in a boardroom because the logistics are "simpler" (disregarding the issue of charging gigawatt-hour batteries somehow).
