It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands. Now the skeptics might start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing [oil rates](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover practical options to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to numerous types of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).

Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with minimal [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) who each used different blends of regular fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods.

[Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) is a genus of roughly 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to [dry spell](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial [major Embraer](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation [transferred](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) to bring out research study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as tactical experts for the task.

The latest airline company to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has [carried](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) out internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.

One really encouraging development has been the relocation away from biofuels which [contend head](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) on with food customers consequently avoiding a rate spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in use of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize costs as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a mixed true [blessing](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) indeed if some individuals ended up starving simply to please somebody else's green credentials.
