<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at [commercial aircraft](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) flying on whatever from cooking oil to [liquefied](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) algae.<br>
<br>With the [civil aviation](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) industry under increasing pressure from rising [oil rates](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible options to standard kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, 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.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) is a genus of 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and [produces seeds](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) consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research and advancement into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [strategic consultants](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating development has been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with [food consumers](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) thus preventing a cost spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and [drivers](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing indeed if some people ended up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
