<br>It's bad enough for some [prop aircrafts](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to be explained as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at [commercial airplane](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and [ecological](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) legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to different kinds of biofuel.<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with [restricted](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) [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 quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of [routine fuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and [bio derivatives](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) [consisting](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) foods items.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to [drought](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to [perform](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to start explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating development has been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thereby [preventing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) a price spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a blended blessing indeed if some people ended up starving just to please someone else's green credentials.<br>
