It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable alternatives to standard [kerosene](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and these so far seem to come down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).
+
Not surprisingly, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) were started by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) [consisting](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](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) as one of the very best [prospects](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, [Brazilian](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) [aeronautical major](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to [perform](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) research study and development into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical specialists for the job.

The newest airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.

One really encouraging advancement has actually been the move far from [biofuels](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which complete head on with food customers therefore [avoiding](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a rise in use of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](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) and algae.
