It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the [skeptics](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) might start having a dig at [industrial aircraft](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) flying on whatever from [cooking oil](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) to melted algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to conventional kerosene and these so far seem to come down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) with restricted [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) foods.
+
[Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic consultants for the task.
+
The most recent airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US [flights](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from [cooking oil](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One truly encouraging development has been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers consequently avoiding a price spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and trucks triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on such as [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and algae. It would be a combined blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving simply to satisfy another person's green qualifications.
