Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at [commercial aircraft](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) flying on whatever from cooking oil to [melted algae](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable [options](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by [British air](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>

It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and [produces](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) seeds [consisting](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical specialists for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with [food customers](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) consequently preventing a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in usage of [biofuels](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) intake on non-food sources such as [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) and algae.
