<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at [industrial aircraft](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and [ecological](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) legislation, the race is on to [discover practical](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) alternatives to conventional kerosene and these so far appear to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) with limited [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) 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://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) is a genus of around 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](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research and development into the usage of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The newest airline to start explore [brand-new fuels](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating advancement has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers therefore [preventing](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [motorists](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) will focus [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving just to please another person's green credentials.<br>
