+<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and [ecological](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) legislation, the race is on to discover practical alternatives to [standard kerosene](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and these up until now appear to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to [Amsterdam flights](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) with restricted [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives [consisting](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](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.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) foods.<br>

It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds [including](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to [perform](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) research study and development into using biofuels to power jet [airliners](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).

+<br>The newest [airline](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to [start exploring](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually motivating development has actually been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thus preventing a price spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and algae.
