<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could start having a dig at [industrial aircraft](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and legislation, the race is on to discover practical [alternatives](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to [conventional kerosene](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and these up until now seem to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by [British](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with [limited](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of some from made from [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) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to [dry spell](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Foundation relocated to perform research and [advancement](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic specialists for the job.<br>
<br>The newest airline company to begin explore new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) Group which has 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 damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly motivating development has been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers therefore avoiding a [rate spiral](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). Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](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 combined true blessing certainly if some people wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
