It's bad enough for some [propeller airplanes](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to [melted algae](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US).
+
With the [civil air](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) travel industry under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to conventional kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).
+
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.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).
+
[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) 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 household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian aerial](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic experts for the job.
+
The most recent airline to start try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.
+
One really motivating advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which [compete head](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) on with food customers thereby [preventing](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and [trucks triggered](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) usage on [non-food sources](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing indeed if some people wound up starving simply to please another person's green credentials.
