It's bad enough for some [propeller planes](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.
+
With the civil [aviation market](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to [discover viable](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to numerous kinds of biofuel.
+
Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted biofuel use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives [consisting](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.

[Jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is a genus of approximately 175 [succulent](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 [Goldman Sachs](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds [consisting](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) Foundation relocated to perform research and development into using [biofuels](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic consultants for the job.
+
The current airline to begin experimenting with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights [utilizing](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.
+
One truly encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation away from which complete head on with food customers therefore avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in vehicles caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and algae. It would be a blended blessing indeed if some individuals ended up starving just to satisfy another person's green [qualifications](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).
