+<br>It's bad enough for some [prop planes](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to [liquefied](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) algae.<br>
+<br>With the [civil air](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and [ecological](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to conventional [kerosene](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and these up until now seem to come down to various kinds of biofuel.<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal biofuel use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) some from made from [jatropha](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) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the finest [prospects](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) for future [biodiesel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic experts for the task.<br>
+<br>The current airline to begin explore new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Group which has carried out  US [flights utilizing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating development has been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thereby [preventing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) a price spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [drivers](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) will focus [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) usage on [non-food sources](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) such as [jatropha](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 algae. It would be a combined true blessing indeed if some people wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
