It's bad enough for some [prop planes](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to be described as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might start having a dig at business aircraft flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover viable alternatives to conventional 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 surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by [British air](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of [routine fuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.

[jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.
+
Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian [aeronautical major](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) Foundation relocated to perform research study and development into using biofuels to [power jet](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic experts for the task.
+
The most current airline to start try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US [flights utilizing](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.
+
One actually encouraging development has been the move away from biofuels which contend head on with [food customers](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) consequently avoiding a price spiral. Not so long back, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US [farmers diverted](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) too much corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, and motorists will focus [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and algae. It would be a combined blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up starving just to satisfy somebody else's green [qualifications](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).
