<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics might begin having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and these so far seem to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of routine 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 bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 [Goldman](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best [candidates](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) 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 [including](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) 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 study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic experts for the project.<br>
<br>The latest airline to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut [damaging emissions](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) by 10%.<br>
<br>One truly motivating development has actually been the move away from biofuels which [contend head](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) on with food consumers thereby preventing a [rate spiral](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/). Not so long earlier, a rise in usage of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) 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](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) undoubtedly if some individuals ended up [starving simply](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to satisfy somebody else's green [credentials](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy).<br>
