<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be [explained](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to [melted algae](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/).<br>
<br>With the civil [aviation market](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover feasible alternatives to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal biofuel use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of [routine fuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [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)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support [Foundation relocated](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to carry out research and advancement into making use of biofuels to airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [strategic consultants](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) for the job.<br>
<br>The most current airline to begin try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating development has actually been the move away from [biofuels](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) which complete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a [rate spiral](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm). Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) consumption on [non-food sources](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) such as [jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and algae. It would be a [combined blessing](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) indeed if some people wound up starving simply to please somebody else's green credentials.<br>
