The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has purchased Gevo’s renewable Alcohol-to-Jet fuel (ATJ) ( earlier post ) for aviation use at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH. Hydrogen gas, a byproduct of the aromatization reaction, is used to remove unsaturated bonds in the aliphatic material.

designed for Diesel Fuel (DF-2) operating with reduced performance with JP-8. Generally speaking, noted AVL researchers in a paper on the problem (Johnson & Hunter 2012), military-grade jet fuels have higher energy content on a mass basis (as a result of the higher hydrogen to carbon ratio), but lower energy density on a volume basis.
