You KNOW that they didn't enter into those agreements voluntarily. The government was "suggesting" that they buy that fuel.
Maybe buying and burning a few gallons of the stuff wins them a few brownie points from ignorant people. "Oh, looky, Maude...they are saving the earth by using biofuels in our jet. We are such good people to fly on a bio fueled jet"
