<br>It's bad enough for some [prop aircrafts](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil market under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible options to standard kerosene and these so far seem to come down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by [British air](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the [finest candidates](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) production. It is [resistant](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and advancement into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical experts for the project.<br>
<br>The current airline company to start experimenting with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out [internal](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating development has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which [contend head](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) on with food customers thereby preventing a [cost spiral](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in [automobiles triggered](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [vehicle drivers](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some people ended up starving simply to please another person's green credentials.<br>
