+<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be described as being powered by [elastic](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) band. Now the cynics could start having a dig at commercial aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from [rising oil](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover practical alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far seem to boil down to different kinds of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).<br>
+<br>Not surprisingly, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives [consisting](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) of 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 foods items.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](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)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) as one of the [finest prospects](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research study and development into using biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).

+<br>The most current airline to start explore brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the [relocation](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thus avoiding a [cost spiral](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).
