<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under [increasing pressure](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) from [increasing oil](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) costs and [ecological](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular 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 poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research and advancement into the use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to begin try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really encouraging advancement has actually been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of [biofuels](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) in cars and [trucks caused](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to [fuel processing](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and algae. It would be a [combined blessing](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
