It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be explained as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at business aircraft flying on whatever from cooking oil to melted algae.

With the civil aviation industry under increasing pressure from [increasing](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find practical alternatives to traditional [kerosene](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and these up until now seem to boil down to different kinds of .

Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) is a genus of roughly 175 [succulent](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the [family Euphorbiaceae](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support [Foundation moved](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) to carry out research study and advancement into using [biofuels](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) to power jet [airliners](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would [function](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) as tactical consultants for the project.

The current airline to start try out 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://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.

One truly motivating development has been the move far from [biofuels](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which contend head on with food customers thus preventing a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and algae. It would be a [combined true](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) blessing undoubtedly if some individuals ended up starving just to please another person's green credentials.
