<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be [referred](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could start having a dig at [business aircraft](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from [increasing oil](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to conventional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to different kinds of biofuel.<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal biofuel use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) who each utilized different blends of and bio derivatives [consisting](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 [Goldman](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and advancement into the use of [biofuels](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical experts for the project.<br>
<br>The current airline to start explore [brand-new fuels](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from [cooking oil](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy). This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly encouraging development has been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with food consumers consequently [avoiding](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) a [rate spiral](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/). Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving just to please another [person's green](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) qualifications.<br>
