It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the might start having a dig at business airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil [aviation industry](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover viable alternatives to [traditional kerosene](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and these up until now seem to come down to various types of biofuel.

Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) use 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 different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which can grow in soil considered too poor for [growing mainstream](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) foods.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) production. It is resistant to [drought](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to [perform](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) research study and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as [tactical specialists](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) for the task.

The current airline company to begin try out [brand-new fuels](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) is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) fuel and 20% biofuel made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.

One actually motivating advancement has actually been the move away from biofuels which [contend head](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) on with food consumers thus avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a combined true blessing undoubtedly if some people wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green credentials.
