LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the [world's](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) most significant industry show in Las Vegas luxury jets are enticing purchasers with their sleek shapes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their use of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel manufacturers and [jetmakers](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) are keen to showcase novel forms of aviation fuel considered less hazardous to the climate, from utilized cooking oil to the definitely less glamorous meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have actually acquiesced ecological [pressure](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) on aviation and dedicated to emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing sustainable fuel to curb emissions could make service jets more [attractive](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) to environmentally conscious buyers - particularly corporations facing questions over sustainability from shareholders or green project groups.
+
The availability of less contaminating personal jets might also spare the abundant and famous the unfavorable promotion experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his spouse Meghan over a current private jet trip to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The current waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," stated Bryan Sherbacow, chief business officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."
+
Some of the other 79 aircraft on display are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other [sustainable fuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) [blends expected](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to be pumped at the [program](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of overall annual carbon emissions internationally, but can give off, usually, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has actually [defended](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) his occasional use of personal jets to ensure his [household's](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) security, and has actually stated that on the unusual occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers say events such as the furore over his schedule have included fresh challenges for a market currently striving to validate its [contribution](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) to cutting corporate costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including using personal jets are regrettable when you think about that our industry has provided fuel performance improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich buyers. According to market data, billionaires just have a 19% organization jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image [transformation -](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and [organisers adding](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) alternative fuel pumps for checking out [aircrafts -](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) is not likely to please all [critics](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet [occasion](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).
+
Environmentalists and some analysts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, typically blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on public perceptions about high-end travel.

"No quantity of [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) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from organization jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.
+
World Energy, which [produces](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) at its California plant, could broaden production as much as 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and experts are also seeing more interest from customers who want to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a function in a [business jet](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) utilization study his company recently completed for a Fortune 500 business.

"At the end of the day, I believe that cost, expense per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I believe individuals are ending up being more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet."
