<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and environmental legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of were initiated by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) some from made from [jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research and development into the use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](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). It was reported that Brazilian [airline companies](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as [tactical consultants](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) for the task.<br>
<br>The latest airline to start experimenting with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the [relocation](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) away from biofuels which [contend head](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) on with food customers consequently preventing a cost spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to [fuel processing](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy).<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and [vehicle drivers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) will focus [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) usage on [non-food sources](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing certainly if some people ended up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
