It's bad enough for some [prop airplanes](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to be described as being powered by rubber bands.

With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil costs and [ecological](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) legislation, the race is on to discover viable options to and these so far seem to boil down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).

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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) with minimal [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized various blends of [regular fuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foods.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs pointed out [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) as one of the finest prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds [including](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research study and advancement into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would serve as strategic specialists for the project.

The newest airline to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has conducted internal US flights using a blend of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) made from cooking oil.

Hopefully in the future, airline companies and vehicle drivers will focus [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) consumption on non-food sources such as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and algae.
