<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by [elastic band](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US). Now the cynics might start having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable options to conventional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to various kinds of [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).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of [alternative fuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin [Atlantic](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) as one of the very best [candidates](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) for future [biodiesel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds [including](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to perform research study and advancement into using biofuels to [power jet](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) airliners. 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 experts for the task.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed [internal](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really encouraging advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thereby preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to [fuel processing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving just to satisfy another [person's green](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) qualifications.<br>
