+<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find [viable alternatives](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to [standard kerosene](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and these so far seem to boil down to [numerous kinds](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, 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 limited [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
+<br> is a genus of [roughly](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 [Goldman](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical [major Embraer](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and development into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical experts for the project.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline to begin [exploring](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating development has actually been the relocation away from [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which compete head on with food customers consequently preventing a rate spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use of biofuels in [automobiles caused](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing certainly if some people ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
