It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be [referred](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find practical options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).
+
Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of [regular fuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and bio derivatives [including](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.

[Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and [produces seeds](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) [consisting](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research and development into using biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/). It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic specialists for the project.

The current airline company to start try out 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.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.
+
One truly encouraging advancement has been the relocation away from biofuels which complete head on with [food consumers](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) consequently [avoiding](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) a price spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of biofuels in cars and trucks triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to [fuel processing](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving just to satisfy somebody [else's green](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) credentials.
