No they are going to fly it in SAF which is sustainable aviation fuel. Built up syntheticly molecule by molecule. From syngas derived from biomass. The fuel is ideal for this aircraft it’s designer fuel from the get go. Higher in density per gallon than JetA, much better temperature stability , much lower gel point too. Those last two are critical when you are using your jet fuel as a heat sink at mach 2+ and 60,000 feet.
Price is not going to be an issue with the kinds of fares they can charge for this premium service it’s not for plebs but for the jet set class who won’t blink at the ticket prices.
SAF has been made from lignin too specifically the aromatics needed for seals and energy density. Lignin is all aromatic ring polymers to begin with. Coal is largely also all aromatics due to lignin being the main starting component to coal when it was laid down in coal swamps and peat bogs.
