With the civil air travel industry under increasing pressure from increasing oil rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to find feasible options to traditional kerosene and these up until now appear to come down to numerous kinds of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).

Not remarkably, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to Amsterdam flights with restricted [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) usage in 2008. This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New [Zealand](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio [derivatives consisting](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) of some from made from [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) which can grow in soil thought about too bad for [growing mainstream](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) foods.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) production. It is resistant to drought and insects, and [produces seeds](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) containing 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the [Sao Paulo](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) state Research [Support](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) [Foundation moved](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to carry out research study and advancement into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic experts for the task.

The newest airline to begin explore new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US flights utilizing a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut [harmful emissions](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) by 10%.

One truly encouraging advancement has actually been the move far from biofuels which contend head on with food customers consequently preventing a [cost spiral](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86). Not so long back, a rise in usage of biofuels in automobiles triggered a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted too much corn to fuel processing.

Hopefully in the future, airlines and drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and algae. It would be a blended true blessing undoubtedly if some people ended up [starving simply](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) to please somebody else's green qualifications.
