<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to [liquefied algae](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
<br>With the [civil aviation](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) market under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and [ecological](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](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) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) as one of the very best [prospects](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and [produces seeds](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major [Embraer](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and the [Sao Paulo](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airline](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical consultants for the task.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to begin explore brand-new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which complete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up [starving](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) just to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
