It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at [business airplane](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from [rising oil](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to [traditional kerosene](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and these so far seem to boil down to various kinds of biofuel.
+
Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by [British](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited biofuel use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and Air New [Zealand](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) which can grow in soil considered too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) foods items.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman [Sachs cited](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research study and [development](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the project.
+
The current airline company to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.
+
One really encouraging development has been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with therefore preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use of biofuels in [automobiles caused](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will focus biofuel intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a [combined blessing](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) certainly if some [people wound](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) up [starving](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) simply to satisfy another person's green credentials.
