+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller airplanes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the [skeptics](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) could begin having a dig at  flying on everything from cooking oil to [liquefied](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) algae.<br>

+<br>Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with [restricted](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil thought about 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](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm)), from the [household Euphorbiaceae](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to bring out research and advancement into the usage of [biofuels](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to power jet [airliners](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889). It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the task.<br>
+<br>The current airline to start exploring with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has carried out internal US flights using 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 claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One actually encouraging advancement has been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers consequently avoiding a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a rise in use of biofuels in cars triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
