It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be explained as being powered by [rubber bands](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). Now the cynics could begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing [pressure](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find practical alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy).
+
Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British [air travel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin [Atlantic](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [routine fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and bio derivatives [including](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) foods.

[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) is a genus of roughly 175 plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces [seeds including](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and development into using biofuels to [power jet](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic consultants for the job.
+
The current airline company to begin try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers therefore avoiding a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing indeed if some people ended up starving simply to please somebody else's green credentials.
