+<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil [air travel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find feasible alternatives to standard kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were [initiated](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of regular fuel and bio [derivatives including](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) foods.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [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 pointed out [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the finest prospects for [future biodiesel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) production. It is resistant to [drought](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as [tactical experts](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) for the job.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline company to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which [contend head](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) on with food customers thus preventing a cost spiral. Not so long back, a rise in usage of  in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize costs as US [farmers diverted](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline [companies](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and [drivers](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) will focus [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) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and algae. It would be a combined blessing certainly if some people ended up starving just to please somebody else's green credentials.<br>
