It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to traditional kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).

Not remarkably, the first trials of [alternative fuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) were started by British leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives including](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of [roughly](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) 175 [succulent](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to dry spell and bugs, and [produces](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant [Embraer](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airline](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) companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic consultants for the task.

The most current airline company to start try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has [carried](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) out internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.

One really motivating development has been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thus preventing a rate spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in vehicles caused a spike in maize rates as US [farmers diverted](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airlines and [drivers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) will focus [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a [combined true](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) blessing indeed if some individuals wound up starving just to please somebody else's green credentials.
