It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be explained as being powered by [rubber bands](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/). Now the cynics might start having a dig at [commercial airplane](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

With the civil aviation market under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and ecological legislation, the race is on to find practical options to traditional kerosene and these up until now seem to boil down to various kinds of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).

Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation leader, [Sir Richard](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream [foods items](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86).

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) production. It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds [including](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) 27-40% oil.

Recently, US [aerospace giant](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research [Support](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Foundation relocated to bring out research study and advancement into making use of biofuels to power jet airliners.

One really encouraging development has been the move away from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thus [avoiding](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) a price spiral. Not so long earlier, a surge in usage of biofuels in vehicles triggered a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and motorists will focus [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) intake on [non-food sources](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) such as [jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) and algae.
