<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing [oil rates](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to [standard kerosene](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and these up until now seem to boil down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) is a genus of approximately 175 [succulent](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Foundation transferred to perform research and advancement into making use of biofuels to [power jet](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [airliners](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html). It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as [tactical specialists](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) for the job.<br>
<br>The newest airline company to begin experimenting with [brand-new fuels](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) is the Alaska Air Group which has actually [performed](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really encouraging development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers consequently preventing a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize costs as US [farmers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
