<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and [environmental](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [consisting](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) is a genus of [roughly](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) 175 [succulent](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](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) [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html)), from the [household Euphorbiaceae](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to begin try out new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with food consumers thus [preventing](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [drivers](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) will focus [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing indeed if some people wound up [starving](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) just to please another [person's](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) green credentials.<br>
