+<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be referred to as being powered by . Now the cynics might begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under [increasing pressure](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) from rising oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible alternatives to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine 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 poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent 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://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) cited [Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) production. It is resistant to [dry spell](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) state Research Support Foundation [relocated](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to perform research study and [advancement](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic experts for the job.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline company to begin [explore](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US [flights utilizing](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) 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 hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One truly motivating advancement has been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thus avoiding a price spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) [consumption](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing indeed if some people ended up starving just to please another person's green credentials.<br>
