<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find [viable alternatives](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to standard kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal biofuel use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of [routine fuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [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)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) as one of the finest [candidates](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) for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support Foundation](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) moved to carry out research study and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price). It was reported that Brazilian [airlines](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to start try out [brand-new fuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is the Alaska Air Group which has performed 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 claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly [encouraging development](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) has been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers consequently [avoiding](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) a [rate spiral](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053). Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as and algae. It would be a [combined blessing](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving just to [satisfy](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) another person's green [qualifications](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
