It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).

Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, [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](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) with minimal [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[Jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).

In 2007 cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production. It is resistant to [drought](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and bugs, and produces seeds [consisting](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical [major Embraer](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research and advancement into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic specialists for the job.
+
The newest airline to begin explore new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Group which has actually carried out internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One really encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation away from [biofuels](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) which compete head on with food consumers therefore avoiding a price spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize costs as US [farmers](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) 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. It would be a [combined true](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving simply to satisfy another person's green credentials.
