+<br>It's bad enough for some [propeller planes](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to be explained as being powered by [rubber bands](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889). Now the cynics could start having a dig at business airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing [oil costs](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  legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to various kinds of biofuel.<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) usage in 2008. This was [rapidly](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) followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [regular fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) 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 mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](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) state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical consultants for the job.<br>
+<br>The latest airline company to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has [conducted internal](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from [cooking oil](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). This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging [emissions](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually motivating advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food [consumers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) consequently preventing a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus biofuel intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing certainly if some people ended up starving just to please somebody else's green [credentials](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).<br>
