+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the [skeptics](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) might begin having a dig at [industrial airplane](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) flying on everything from cooking oil to [liquefied algae](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation market under  pressure from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and these so far appear to boil down to different types of biofuel.<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US).<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 [Goldman](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) Sachs pointed out [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) [jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian aerial](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Foundation relocated to perform research study and advancement into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical experts for the project.<br>
+<br>The latest airline company to begin [explore](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating development has been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thus preventing a price spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in cars and [trucks caused](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing undoubtedly if some people wound up starving just to please somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
