+<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be explained as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at  flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and these so far appear to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian aeronautical](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and advancement into the use of biofuels to [power jet](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical consultants for the task.<br>
+<br>The newest airline to start explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging development has been the move far from biofuels which complete head on with food customers thereby preventing a [rate spiral](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize prices 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, airlines and [motorists](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) will focus [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) [consumption](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
