+<br>It's bad enough for some [prop airplanes](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find practical alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far appear to come down to [numerous kinds](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were [initiated](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) by British air travel pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by  and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [regular fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and bio [derivatives including](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) 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 thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<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 curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 [Goldman Sachs](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant [Embraer](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 the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research and advancement into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical specialists for the project.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline to begin exploring with 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.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of [biofuels](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) in [vehicles caused](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to [fuel processing](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle 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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and algae. It would be a blended blessing indeed if some people ended up starving simply to please somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
