+<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and [environmental](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) legislation, the race is on to find practical options to traditional kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British [aviation](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and Air New [Zealand](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) who each [utilized](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian [aeronautical](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Foundation relocated to perform research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical consultants for the job.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline company to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) made from [cooking oil](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053). This mix, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually motivating advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers consequently avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to [fuel processing](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, [airlines](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and motorists will  consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and algae. It would be a [blended blessing](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) indeed if some individuals ended up starving just to please someone else's green credentials.<br>
