<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be [referred](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to [traditional kerosene](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and these up until now appear to boil down to various kinds of biofuel.<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to [perform](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) research and advancement into using biofuels to [power jet](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) [airliners](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US). It was reported that [Brazilian](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) [airlines](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
<br>The current airline company to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly motivating advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with [food customers](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) consequently preventing a [cost spiral](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). Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize costs as US excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [motorists](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) will focus [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing indeed if some individuals wound up starving simply to please somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
