<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable options to conventional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).<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 minimal [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) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and [bio derivatives](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) [consisting](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br> is a genus of approximately 175 succulent 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 family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman [Sachs cited](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant 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 [airliners](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [tactical specialists](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) for the task.<br>
<br>The newest airline to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the relocation away from [biofuels](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) which complete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a price spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of [biofuels](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) in [vehicles triggered](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing indeed if some people wound up [starving](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) simply to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
