+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find viable options to conventional kerosene and these up until now seem to come down to different types of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by  travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with [limited](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) [biofuel](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) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and [bio derivatives](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs [mentioned](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [Jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) production. It is [resistant](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to drought and bugs, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>

+<br>The most recent airline to start experimenting with brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](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) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really [motivating development](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) has actually been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food customers consequently avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in use of [biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) in cars and trucks triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.<br>
+<br>Hopefully in the future, airlines and motorists will focus biofuel consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](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.
