It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by [elastic band](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). Now the cynics could start having a dig at [commercial aircraft](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) flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to [discover practical](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and these up until now appear to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) foods items.

[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the [finest prospects](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) 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 bugs, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.

Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical consultants for the job.
+
The most current airline company to start exploring with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out US [flights](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One truly encouraging development has been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers consequently preventing a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](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 algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some individuals ended up [starving simply](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.
