+<br>It's bad enough for some [prop airplanes](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to be [explained](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover practical alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and Air New Zealand who each  different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) foodstuffs.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a genus of roughly 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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds [consisting](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and development into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
+<br>The [current airline](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) company to start experimenting with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually [conducted internal](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) US [flights utilizing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers therefore preventing a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some people wound up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
