+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be explained as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could begin having a dig at industrial airplane flying on everything from cooking oil to liquefied algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from increasing oil costs and environmental legislation, the race is on to find viable options to traditional [kerosene](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and these up until now seem to boil down to different kinds of biofuel.<br>
+<br>Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British aviation leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic began London to Amsterdam flights with limited [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) use in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for growing mainstream foods items.<br>

+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research and [development](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline [companies](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic specialists for the project.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline to start explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually conducted internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) made from [cooking oil](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/). This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really encouraging development has been the relocation away from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers thus preventing a price spiral.
