<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller aircrafts](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find [viable alternatives](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) to conventional [kerosene](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and these so far appear to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) with [limited biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of [routine fuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and bio derivatives [including](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) as one of the best [candidates](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would [function](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) as tactical experts for the project.<br>
<br>The current airline to start exploring with new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating advancement has been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers therefore preventing a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus biofuel intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving simply to please another person's green qualifications.<br>
