This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of routine fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) which can grow in soil thought about too poor for  foods items.<br>
+<br>[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.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html)), from the family Euphorbiaceae.<br>
+<br>In 2007 Goldman Sachs mentioned [Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) as one of the very best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) [production](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US). It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and development into using biofuels to power jet airliners. It was reported that Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol, TAM and Trip would function as strategic consultants for the project.<br>
+<br>The most recent airline company to start try out brand-new fuels is the Alaska Air Group which has actually carried out internal US flights using a mix of 80 % petroleum based fuel and 20% [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) made from cooking oil. This mixture, it is claimed, can cut damaging emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating development has been the relocation away from biofuels which complete head on with [food consumers](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) thereby preventing a [rate spiral](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). Not so long ago, a surge in usage of biofuels in cars and [trucks triggered](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) a spike in maize rates as US farmers [diverted excessive](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) corn to fuel processing.<br>
