It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at business aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.
+
With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover feasible options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and these so far appear to come down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).
+
Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were by [British](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) [aviation](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) foods items.
+
[Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [production](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile). It is [resistant](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) to drought and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support [Foundation transferred](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to bring out research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as [strategic consultants](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) for the project.
+
The most recent airline to begin explore brand-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.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous [emissions](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) by 10%.
+
One truly motivating development has been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thereby preventing a cost spiral. Not so long earlier, 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 vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and algae. It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some people wound up starving just to please somebody else's green [qualifications](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US).
