<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be referred to as being powered by [elastic band](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL). Now the cynics might start having a dig at [commercial airplane](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and Air New [Zealand](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) who each utilized different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which can grow in soil considered too bad for foods items.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 [Goldman](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) 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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd). It is resistant to [dry spell](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research study and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical specialists for the job.<br>
<br>The newest airline to begin experimenting with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US [flights](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thereby [preventing](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of [biofuels](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) in vehicles caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) usage on [non-food sources](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) such as [jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing certainly if some people ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
