It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by rubber bands. Now the cynics could start having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) to melted algae.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from [increasing oil](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) rates and environmental legislation, the race is on to discover feasible options to traditional kerosene and these so far seem to come down to different types of biofuel.
+
Not remarkably, the first trials of alternative fuel were started by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) with limited biofuel usage in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of [regular fuel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and bio derivatives [consisting](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for growing mainstream foodstuffs.

[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.
+
In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) as one of the best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and seeds containing 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that [Brazilian airlines](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would act as strategic consultants for the task.
+
The most recent airline to begin try out new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has performed internal US flights utilizing a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.

One truly [encouraging development](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) has been the move away from biofuels which [contend head](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) on with food customers consequently preventing a [cost spiral](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86). Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in [cars caused](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) a spike in maize prices as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.
+
Hopefully in the future, airlines and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) usage on [non-food sources](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) such as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and algae. It would be a mixed blessing indeed if some people wound up [starving](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) just to [satisfy](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) another person's green qualifications.
