Airplanes are not cars. Weight actually matters, even for short trips. There are not an “ever-increasing” number of routes that can be powered by batteries. You can’t even legally send passengers using batteries, because you can’t even get to reserve range minimums. It is basically zero today. And people have noted that even with miracle battery advancements, we would still not have a battery good enough to build a 737 or a320 equivalent. As a result, most of the aviation community has abandoned the idea altogether. Again, biofuels are not green. The process that makes them involve vast quantities of land and resources. It is in fact a very inefficient and resource intensive idea. It is actually much worse than what it takes to make e-fuels.
