It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at [industrial airplane](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) flying on everything from [cooking oil](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to conventional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).
+
Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of [regular fuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and bio [derivatives including](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) some from made from which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.

[Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) is a genus of approximately 175 [succulent](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [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)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research and development into using biofuels to [power jet](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the project.
+
The most recent airline company to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights [utilizing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.
+
One really motivating development has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in usage of biofuels in [cars caused](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) a spike in maize costs as US [farmers diverted](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) too much corn to [fuel processing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).
+
Hopefully in the future, [airline](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) companies and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and algae. It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving just to satisfy another person's green credentials.
