It's bad enough for some [propeller airplanes](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from [cooking oil](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to liquefied algae.
+
With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to [discover viable](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) to [standard kerosene](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and these so far seem to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).
+
Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](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) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) foodstuffs.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) 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 including 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and advancement into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical experts for the job.

The newest [airline company](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from [cooking oil](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86). This mix, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.
+
One truly motivating advancement has been the [relocation](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) away from biofuels which compete head on with food [consumers](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) therefore avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in [cars caused](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.
+
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) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up [starving simply](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) to satisfy another person's green qualifications.
