+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be described as being powered by [elastic band](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889). Now the cynics might start having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and [environmental](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to traditional kerosene and these so far seem to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were [initiated](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives including](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) foods.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 [Goldman Sachs](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) mentioned [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the best prospects for future biodiesel production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant [Embraer](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to bring out 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 specialists for the job.<br>
+<br>The newest airline to begin explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly encouraging development has actually been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with food customers thereby avoiding a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in  a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>

It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some individuals wound up starving just to please somebody else's green credentials.<br>
