<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be explained as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to traditional kerosene and these so far seem to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](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) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](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 Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) foods.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the [household Euphorbiaceae](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as one of the very best prospects for production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to perform research study and advancement into using biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic consultants for the task.<br>
<br>The newest [airline company](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to begin try out 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://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous [emissions](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly encouraging development has actually been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food customers consequently [avoiding](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers [diverted](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing indeed if some people ended up starving just to please somebody [else's green](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) credentials.<br>
