<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be explained as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to conventional kerosene and these so far seem to come down to various kinds of biofuel.<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for [growing mainstream](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) foods items.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of [roughly](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best [prospects](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is [resistant](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) to drought and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support Foundation](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) moved to research study and [advancement](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the task.<br>
<br>The most current airline to begin try out [brand-new](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a mix of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from [cooking oil](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb). This mix, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually [motivating development](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) has actually been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thus avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, [airline](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) intake 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 blended blessing certainly if some individuals ended up starving simply to please someone else's green qualifications.<br>
