<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could 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 rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to boil down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy).<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) were initiated by British air travel pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) Branson, whose Virgin [Atlantic](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) with limited [biofuel](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) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of [routine fuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and [bio derivatives](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) [consisting](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 [Goldman Sachs](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds [including](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to carry out research study and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic experts for the task.<br>
<br>The most recent airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One really motivating development has been the relocation away from biofuels which compete head on with food customers therefore avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of [biofuels](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) in cars caused a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) and algae. It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving just to please somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
