+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by [rubber bands](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053). Now the cynics could begin having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find practical options to [conventional](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) [kerosene](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and these so far seem to boil down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) with  [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the [finest candidates](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support Foundation](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) moved to carry out research and development into using biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86). It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
+<br>The newest airline company to begin exploring with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the move away from biofuels which complete head on with [food consumers](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) thereby [avoiding](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and [motorists](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) will focus biofuel usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and algae. It would be a blended blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving just to satisfy someone else's green qualifications.<br>
