+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might start having a dig at  flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under [increasing pressure](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to various types of biofuel.<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of [regular fuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and [bio derivatives](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [consisting](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent 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 household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to [perform](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) research study and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airline](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) [companies](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical specialists for the job.<br>
+<br>The current airline company to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually motivating advancement has been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers consequently preventing a [cost spiral](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). Not so long back, a surge in use of biofuels in [vehicles caused](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and algae.
