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

With the civil [air travel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) industry under [increasing](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) [pressure](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) from rising oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find practical options to standard kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to different kinds of [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).

Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation pioneer, [Sir Richard](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) who each used various blends of [regular fuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and bio derivatives [including](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foods items.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) is a genus of around 175 [succulent](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited as one of the best candidates 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 to drought and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to bring out 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 act as tactical specialists for the task.

The most recent airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights utilizing a blend 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 harmful emissions by 10%.

One really encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thus preventing a rate spiral. Not so long back, a rise in usage of biofuels in [automobiles triggered](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airlines 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](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and algae. It would be a mixed true [blessing](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) certainly if some individuals wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody [else's green](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) qualifications.
