+<br>It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation market under [increasing pressure](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) from rising oil rates and [ecological](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) legislation, the race is on to find [feasible options](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) to conventional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 [Goldman Sachs](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) 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 dry spell and insects, 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 moved to perform research and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would  as strategic consultants for the task.<br>
+<br>The current airline company to begin try out [brand-new fuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut [harmful emissions](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually motivating advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thus preventing a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in cars caused a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted [excessive corn](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [motorists](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and algae. It would be a blended blessing indeed if some people wound up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.<br>
