Aviation Groups Lobby for Biodiesel Incentive Extension
Extension of the biodiesel fuel tax incentive will sustain and grow nascent sustainable alternative jet fuel production, aviation groups say.

Business aviation and other general and commercial aviation industry groups are urging Congress to extend a now-expired biodiesel tax incentive that they say would ensure future production and growth of sustainable alternative jet fuels (SAJF). On April 12, the consortium delivered letters to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley and Ranking Member Ron Wyden requesting extension of the incentive under Section 40A of the Tax Extender and Disaster Relief Act (S.617).
