+<br>It's bad enough for some prop planes to be referred to as being powered by rubber bands.

+<br>Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were [initiated](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) by British air travel leader, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started 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 quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives [including](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods.<br>
+<br>[Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited)), from the household Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) as one of the very best candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) production. It is resistant to drought and bugs, and [produces seeds](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>

It was reported that Brazilian airline companies Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic specialists for the task.<br>
+<br>The current airline company to begin exploring with new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually performed internal US [flights](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) using a blend of 80 % [petroleum based](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) made from cooking oil. This mix, it is declared, can cut hazardous emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating advancement has been the move far from biofuels which compete head on with food customers thus preventing a cost spiral.
