It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be [referred](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to as being powered by [elastic band](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy). Now the cynics might start having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the [civil air](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) travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to alternatives to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy).
+
Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin [Atlantic](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) state Research [Support](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Foundation moved to perform research study and development into the use of [biofuels](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic experts for the project.
+
The current airline company to start explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.
+
One actually encouraging advancement has been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thereby [preventing](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and [vehicle drivers](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.
