Next step, wooden rockets. Powered by the green hydrogen.

What is the point if you overlook launch part.

If a rocket is reusable, the materials it is made of matter less than that of satellites which will burn up on reentry. As for the fuel, most of the upcoming reusable launch vehicles are methalox and/or hydrolox. While the industry isn't there yet, green methane will be easier to produce than green kerosene.
