+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at [industrial aircraft](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) flying on everything from cooking oil to [melted algae](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable options to standard [kerosene](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 these so far appear to boil down to different types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started 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 rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each [utilized](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) different blends of  and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) curcas), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) [jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to perform research and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [tactical consultants](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) for the job.<br>
+<br>The current airline to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut [harmful emissions](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thereby preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and [trucks caused](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) a spike in [maize costs](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline companies](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and drivers will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](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 blended blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up [starving](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) just to please another person's green [credentials](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
