<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by [rubber bands](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053). Now the cynics might begin having a dig at business airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to [liquefied algae](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).<br>
<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from [rising oil](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to [traditional kerosene](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and these up until now seem to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and [advancement](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) into making use of biofuels to [power jet](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with food customers thus avoiding a [cost spiral](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/). Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel intake](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) and algae. It would be a undoubtedly if some people ended up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
