+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the [civil air](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) travel market under increasing pressure from [increasing oil](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) rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent 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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best candidates for  production. It is [resistant](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to drought and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](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) Foundation relocated to bring out research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical consultants for the project.<br>
+<br>The most current airline company to start explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US [flights utilizing](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging [emissions](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really encouraging development has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with [food customers](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) consequently [avoiding](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize costs as US [farmers diverted](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.<br>
