+<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be [explained](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to [liquefied](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel [industry](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, [Sir Richard](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [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) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a genus of approximately 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 mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the very 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 and bugs, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to [perform](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) research study and advancement into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical consultants for the task.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline company to begin [explore](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from [cooking oil](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html). This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating development has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which complete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of [biofuels](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) in vehicles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, [airlines](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and motorists will [focus biofuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae.
