<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the [skeptics](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) could begin having a dig at [industrial aircraft](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) flying on everything from cooking oil to .<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover viable alternatives to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin [Atlantic](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) who each utilized 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 considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is [resistant](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) to drought and insects, and produces seeds [including](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic experts for the task.<br>
<br>The current airline company to begin try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights using a mix of 80 % [petroleum based](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really encouraging advancement has actually been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food customers therefore preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline companies](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving just to please somebody else's green [qualifications](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).<br>
