It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to [traditional kerosene](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and these so far seem to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by [British](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](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) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [regular fuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and bio derivatives [consisting](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).
+
In 2007 [Goldman Sachs](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) cited [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and [produces seeds](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) containing 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian aeronautical](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to carry out research and development into the usage of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the project.
+
The current airline to start exploring with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.
+
One truly motivating development has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food [consumers](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing certainly if some people wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.
