Hopefully in the future, [airlines](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and drivers will focus biofuel intake on [non-food sources](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) such as [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and algae.
