+<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under  pressure from [rising oil](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to conventional kerosene and these so far appear to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) travel pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [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) as one of the finest 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 insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and advancement into the use of [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
+<br>The current airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US [flights](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) made from [cooking oil](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889). This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with [food consumers](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) thus preventing a cost spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) companies and vehicle drivers will focus biofuel intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving just to please another person's green credentials.<br>
