<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from [cooking oil](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) to melted algae.<br>

<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to [discover feasible](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) options to [traditional kerosene](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and these so far seem to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>

<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>

<br>[Jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>

<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>

<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research study and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [strategic consultants](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) for the project.<br>

<br>The most current airline to start explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>

<br>One really motivating advancement has been the relocation far from [biofuels](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) which contend head on with food customers thereby preventing a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) in cars caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>

<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline companies](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and [motorists](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) intake on [non-food sources](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing certainly if some people wound up [starving simply](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to please somebody else's green [credentials](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
