<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller aircrafts](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) to be described as being powered by [elastic](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) band. Now the cynics could start having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable options to conventional kerosene and these so far appear to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) usage in 2008. This was [rapidly](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [routine fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and bio [derivatives including](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) some from made from [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of [roughly](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) 175 [succulent](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is [resistant](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the job.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually encouraging development has been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thus preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline companies](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) intake on such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some people ended up starving just to please another person's green qualifications.<br>
