New federal tax credits aim to dramatically increase national production of alternative jet fuels from biofuels. The consumption of sustainable aviation fuels remains low in California despite incentives from the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). We compare the incentives for producing biofuels from agricultural feedstocks like soybean oil or ethanol for either on-road or in-air use. We find that the overall balance of incentives is greater for using agricultural feedstocks in non-aviation biofuels than as alternative jet fuels.
