<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the could begin having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far seem to boil down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted biofuel use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) different blends of [regular fuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant [Embraer](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research study and advancement into the use of [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to power jet [airliners](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the project.<br>
<br>The newest airline to start try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US [flights](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous [emissions](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly [motivating](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) development has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thus avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in [automobiles triggered](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) companies and motorists will [focus biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](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) and algae. It would be a [blended blessing](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) indeed if some individuals ended up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
