It's bad enough for some prop aircrafts to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil [air travel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to [numerous kinds](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).

Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, [Sir Richard](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) Branson, whose [Virgin Atlantic](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) with limited [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of [routine fuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods items.

[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) 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 household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.

Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) Boeing, Brazilian [aerial major](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation [relocated](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) to carry out research study and development into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic specialists for the job.

The most current airline company to begin try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has 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 mixture, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.

One truly motivating development has actually been the relocation away from [biofuels](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) which complete head on with food consumers thereby avoiding a price spiral. Not so long ago, a surge 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, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) intake on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and algae. It would be a mixed true blessing certainly if some individuals wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody [else's green](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) qualifications.
