Now the skeptics might start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>

+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) usage in 2008. This was  followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is a genus of roughly 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 Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is [resistant](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and [advancement](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical experts for the project.<br>
+<br>The most current airline [company](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to begin try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging development has been the [relocation](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) away from [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which compete head on with food customers consequently [preventing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) a rate spiral.
