+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation [industry](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) under increasing pressure from [increasing oil](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to traditional [kerosene](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and these so far appear to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) who each utilized various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) foods.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is a genus of approximately 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  Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best [prospects](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) for future [biodiesel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds [consisting](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to perform research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical experts for the task.<br>
+<br>The newest airline to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually motivating development has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which [compete head](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) on with food customers thus avoiding a [cost spiral](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined blessing certainly if some people wound up starving simply to please somebody else's green credentials.<br>
