<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be explained as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at [industrial aircraft](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and [environmental](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) legislation, the race is on to discover viable [options](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to [traditional](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to [numerous kinds](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream [foods items](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) 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 dry spell and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research study and advancement into using biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical consultants for the task.<br>
<br>The current airline to begin exploring with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous [emissions](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) by 10%.<br>
<br>One really [motivating](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food customers consequently [preventing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) a price spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up [starving](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) simply to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
