<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and [ecological](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) legislation, the race is on to find [feasible alternatives](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) to standard kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) began London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) with restricted [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the very best [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.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research and [development](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic specialists for the job.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to start exploring with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights [utilizing](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating advancement has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use of biofuels in vehicles caused a spike in as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) intake on [non-food sources](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) such as [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing indeed if some people ended up starving simply to satisfy someone else's green credentials.<br>
