+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might start having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the [civil aviation](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) industry under [increasing pressure](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by [British air](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) travel pioneer,  Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) who each [utilized](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) different blends of [regular fuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](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) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research study and development into the use of biofuels to [power jet](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the job.<br>
+<br>The current airline company to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US [flights](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) using a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really encouraging advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers therefore avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in [vehicles caused](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) a spike in maize rates as US farmers [diverted excessive](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will [focus biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing certainly if some people ended up starving just to please someone else's green qualifications.<br>
