<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller airplanes](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to be referred to as being powered by [rubber bands](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html). Now the [skeptics](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air [travel market](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to [standard kerosene](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and these so far seem to come down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) were initiated by leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) state Research [Support](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Foundation moved to perform research study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airline](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The current airline company to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has [carried](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) out internal US flights using a blend 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 actually encouraging advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers consequently [preventing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) a price spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus biofuel usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
