<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from [cooking oil](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to liquefied algae.<br>

<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable options to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to [numerous types](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).<br>

<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>

<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>

<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) curcas as one of the very best [candidates](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) production. It is [resistant](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>

<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian aerial](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic specialists for the project.<br>

||||
<br>The most current airline to begin try out brand-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 mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
|
||||
<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>

<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and [drivers](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and algae. It would be a blended blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody [qualifications](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).<br>
