<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be [referred](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) to as being powered by elastic band. Now the [skeptics](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) might start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover feasible alternatives to [standard kerosene](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and these up until now seem to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) were initiated by [British aviation](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) with limited use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives [consisting](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/).<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](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) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
<br>The most current airline company to begin [explore](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating advancement has been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a [rate spiral](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608). Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](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) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and algae. It would be a combined blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving simply to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
