It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from [rising oil](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to find practical options to [conventional kerosene](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and these so far seem to boil down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).

Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives [consisting](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream [foodstuffs](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).

[Jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant [Embraer](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and the Sao Paulo state Research moved to [perform](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) research study and advancement into making use of [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as tactical experts for the project.
+
The most recent airline company to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.

One really motivating development has actually been the move away from [biofuels](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which [contend head](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) on with food customers therefore avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will [focus biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined blessing indeed if some individuals ended up starving simply to [satisfy](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) somebody else's green qualifications.
