It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be [referred](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising [oil costs](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [routine fuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods.

[Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 [Goldman](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the [finest prospects](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) for future [biodiesel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research and [advancement](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical consultants for the [project](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).
+
The most recent airline to begin try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using 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 mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One truly encouraging development has actually been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers therefore avoiding a [cost spiral](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053). Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving simply to please somebody else's green qualifications.
