+<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might start having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and  legislation, the race is on to find [practical options](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) to conventional kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) usage in 2008. This was quickly 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 consisting](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) which can grow in soil considered too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) foods.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](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 around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [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.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to carry out research study and advancement into making use of [biofuels](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the task.<br>
+<br>The latest airline company to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging development has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which complete head on with [food customers](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) therefore avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](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) too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing indeed if some people ended up starving simply to please somebody else's green credentials.<br>
