<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller airplanes](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the [civil aviation](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) industry under [increasing pressure](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) from [increasing oil](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to [traditional](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to numerous types of [biofuel](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).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of were started by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](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) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) 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 items.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 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 advancement into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical specialists for the job.<br>
<br>The latest airline to start experimenting with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US [flights utilizing](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating development has been the relocation away from [biofuels](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which compete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers [diverted](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) usage 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](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
