This was rapidly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each used various blends of regular fuel and [bio derivatives](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) 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 bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>

It is resistant to dry spell and insects, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical major Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation transferred to carry out research and development into the usage of biofuels to power jet airliners.
