It's bad enough for some [propeller airplanes](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to be [referred](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could start having a dig at commercial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and [ecological](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) legislation, the race is on to find practical alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).
+
Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose started London to Amsterdam flights with limited biofuel usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support Foundation](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) transferred to carry out research and [advancement](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [strategic experts](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) for the job.
+
The current airline to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights using a mix of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.
+
One really encouraging development has been the relocation away from [biofuels](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) which complete head on with food consumers thus avoiding a cost spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in [maize costs](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and algae. It would be a mixed true [blessing](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) undoubtedly if some people ended up starving just to satisfy another person's green qualifications.
