It's bad enough for some propeller planes to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the cynics might start having a dig at industrial aircraft flying on everything from [cooking oil](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) to liquefied algae.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) as one of the finest candidates for future [biodiesel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) production. It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to bring out research and [advancement](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners.

One actually encouraging advancement has actually been the relocation far from biofuels which contend head on with food consumers therefore preventing a cost spiral.
