<br>It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.<br>
<br>With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and legislation, the race is on to discover viable alternatives to standard kerosene and these so far appear to boil down to numerous types of biofuel.<br>
<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British aviation pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited biofuel use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from jatropha which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) is a genus of around 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to bring out research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic specialists for the job.<br>
<br>The latest airline to begin try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is declared, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
<br>One actually encouraging advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thereby avoiding a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in automobiles caused a spike in [maize costs](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
<br>Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus biofuel usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) and algae. It would be a combined blessing certainly if some people wound up starving simply to satisfy somebody else's green qualifications.<br>
