<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from [cooking oil](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to conventional kerosene and these so far seem to come down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) use in 2008. This was [rapidly](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) various blends of and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](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)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and [advancement](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic specialists for the project.<br>
<br>The current airline to begin try out 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://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating development has actually been the move away from [biofuels](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which complete head on with [food customers](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) consequently preventing a [rate spiral](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86). Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in [cars 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.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing undoubtedly if some people wound up starving just to please somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
