+<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the [skeptics](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation [industry](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was [rapidly](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) 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 family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman [Sachs cited](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) as one of the very best [candidates](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) 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](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research study and  into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical specialists for the project.<br>
+<br>The current airline to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US [flights](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) [utilizing](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating development has been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thereby avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and algae.
