<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be described as being powered by . Now the cynics could begin having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted 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](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to conventional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British [air travel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) leader, 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 various 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.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a genus of approximately 175 [succulent](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation [relocated](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to bring out research study and advancement into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as tactical experts for the task.<br>
<br>The newest airline to begin experimenting with brand-new fuels is the [Alaska Air](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) made from [cooking oil](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy). This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually motivating advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which [compete head](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) on with food consumers therefore avoiding a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in use 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 drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving just to please another [person's green](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) qualifications.<br>
