+<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at [commercial airplane](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far seem to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing,  aerial significant [Embraer](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) and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support Foundation](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) moved to bring out research study and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the project.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline to [start explore](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Group which has conducted [internal](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) US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut [harmful emissions](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers consequently [preventing](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) a [rate spiral](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd). Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in [automobiles triggered](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) usage on [non-food sources](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing indeed if some individuals ended up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
