from biomass - bamboo grows really fast - gets developed. We didn't get that tech and instead got EVs. Not bad. For the synthetic fuel which will still be needed by the hard-to-electrify industries like for example aviation - SpaceX anyway will have to develop an efficient way to produce synthetic methane, so that will come in time.
