+<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil [air travel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) market under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to standard kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, [Sir Richard](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with [limited](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) 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 curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil considered too poor for [growing mainstream](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [foods items](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) 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 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](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) as one of the finest 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 pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical  and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic experts for the task.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline to begin try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights [utilizing](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) made from [cooking oil](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608). This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating development has been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle 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.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing undoubtedly if some people wound up starving just to please another person's green credentials.<br>
