<br>It's bad enough for some [prop planes](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) 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 aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from [increasing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) oil prices and [environmental](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) legislation, the race is on to find viable options to traditional kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the [finest candidates](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) for future [biodiesel](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) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian aerial](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) major [Embraer](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) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The current airline company to begin try out new fuels is the Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers therefore avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) intake on [non-food sources](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) such as [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing indeed if some individuals wound up [starving](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) just to please somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
