<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller aircrafts](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from [cooking oil](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to [traditional kerosene](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and these up until now appear to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with [restricted](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) [biofuel](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) [production](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/). It is resistant to [drought](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to bring out research study and [advancement](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airline](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical specialists for the task.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually encouraging advancement has been the move far from biofuels which [compete head](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) on with food customers thereby avoiding a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use of [biofuels](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, [airlines](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some people ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
