+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at commercial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from [increasing oil](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to traditional kerosene and these so far appear to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine 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 [foodstuffs](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of approximately 175 [succulent](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86).<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) production. It is [resistant](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to [drought](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to bring out research study and advancement into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic consultants for the task.<br>
+<br>The latest [airline company](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to start exploring with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US [flights](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with  thereby avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers [diverted excessive](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing indeed if some people ended up starving just to please another person's green qualifications.<br>
