It's bad enough for some to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the [skeptics](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) might begin having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.
+
With the [civil air](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and these so far seem to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](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) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.
+
[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) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and [development](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) into using biofuels to [power jet](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical experts for the project.
+
The [current airline](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) company to begin try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from [cooking oil](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price). This mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One actually encouraging development has been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted [excessive corn](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a [mixed blessing](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) certainly if some people wound up starving just to please another person's green credentials.
