<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to standard kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, [Sir Richard](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted biofuel use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the best [prospects](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) 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 pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and advancement into the usage of [biofuels](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the job.<br>
<br>The newest [airline](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to start try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US [flights](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a [rate spiral](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/). Not so long back, a surge in use of [biofuels](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) in cars and trucks triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers [diverted excessive](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) corn to .<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, [airlines](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and [vehicle drivers](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) will focus [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) intake on [non-food sources](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and algae. It would be a [blended blessing](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) certainly if some people wound up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
