<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to melted algae.<br> |

<br>With the [civil air](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy).<br> |

<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br> |

<br>[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is a genus of approximately 175 [succulent](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br> |

<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs [mentioned](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) 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](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608). It is to dry spell and bugs, and [produces seeds](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) consisting of 27-40% oil.<br> |

<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support Foundation](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) moved to perform research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the project.<br> |
||||
<br>The most recent airline to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br> |

<br>One really motivating advancement has actually been the move away from [biofuels](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) which compete head on with food consumers therefore [avoiding](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) excessive corn to fuel processing.<br> |

<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) consumption on non-food sources such as [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) and algae. It would be a blended blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br> |
