<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at business airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible alternatives to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to [numerous types](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British [air travel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) 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.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream [foods items](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>[jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) as one of the best [prospects](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) for future [biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to perform research and advancement into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](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 consultants for the task.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to begin try out [brand-new](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly encouraging development has been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thus preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in [vehicles caused](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) a spike in [maize costs](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and [vehicle drivers](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) intake on [non-food sources](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) such as [jatropha](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 satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
