<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes 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 could begin having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising [oil costs](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and environmental legislation, the race is on to find practical options to [traditional kerosene](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and these up until now seem to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](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) [foods items](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is a genus of roughly 175 plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to [dry spell](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant [Embraer](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to bring out research and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the project.<br>
<br>The most recent airline company to start experimenting with 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://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from [cooking oil](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/). This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with [food customers](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) therefore preventing a price spiral. 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, airline companies and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some people wound up starving just to satisfy someone else's green credentials.<br>
