<br>It's bad enough for some to be [explained](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find practical options to [conventional](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) [kerosene](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and these so far seem to boil down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [regular fuel](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) and bio derivatives [including](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) some from made from [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream [foods items](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds consisting 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 bring out research study and advancement into the use of biofuels to [power jet](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical specialists for the job.<br>
<br>The current airline company to begin try out 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://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) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can [cut harmful](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly encouraging advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which [contend head](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) on with food consumers therefore preventing a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize costs 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.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a blended blessing indeed if some individuals wound up starving just to please someone else's green credentials.<br>
