+<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller airplanes](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might start having a dig at [business airplane](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from [rising oil](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable options to standard kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US  Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and advancement into the usage of biofuels to [power jet](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical experts for the job.<br>
+<br>The most [current airline](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) company to start exploring with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) made from [cooking oil](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053). This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging development has actually been the move far from biofuels which complete head on with food customers thereby preventing a rate spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use of [biofuels](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) in [vehicles triggered](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will [focus biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) consumption on [non-food sources](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
