It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by [rubber bands](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile). Now the cynics might start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to [melted algae](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).
+
With the travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find practical alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foods items.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) 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 household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and [produces seeds](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) containing 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [tactical consultants](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) for the project.
+
The most recent airline to start try out new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Group which has actually carried out [internal](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) US flights utilizing 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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) by 10%.
+
One actually motivating advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thereby preventing a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and [trucks caused](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) a spike in maize rates as US [farmers](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [diverted](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) too much corn to fuel processing.
+
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 curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.
