It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to melted algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover viable alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to [numerous kinds](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).

Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of and [bio derivatives](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) [consisting](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).

In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) [production](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.

Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic consultants for the task.

The newest airline to start try out 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.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.

One really encouraging advancement has actually been the move far from [biofuels](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which complete head on with food customers thereby preventing a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in [cars caused](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving just to please another person's green qualifications.
