<br>It's bad enough for some [prop aircrafts](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to be referred to as being powered by [rubber bands](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL). Now the cynics might begin having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and [produces](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [seeds consisting](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) 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 perform research and [advancement](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The [current airline](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has 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%.<br>
<br>One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which [compete head](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) on with food consumers consequently avoiding a [rate spiral](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). Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on [non-food sources](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) such as and algae. It would be a combined blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving simply to please somebody else's [green credentials](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>
