LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry program in Las Vegas high-end jets are tempting buyers with their [streamlined](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) shapes, luxurious cabins - and increasingly, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are eager to showcase novel kinds of aviation fuel considered less hazardous to the environment, from used [cooking oil](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to the [noticeably](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) less [glamorous meat](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airlines, have actually acquiesced environmental pressure on air travel and committed to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing sustainable fuel to curb emissions could make organization jets more appealing to environmentally conscious buyers - specifically corporations facing concerns over sustainability from [investors](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) or [green campaign](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) groups.
+
The [accessibility](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) of less contaminating personal jets might also spare the abundant and well-known the negative promotion experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his other half Meghan over a recent personal jet journey to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most recent waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary industrial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 aircraft on display are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other renewable fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the show.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions globally, however can release, typically, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has actually protected his occasional use of personal jets to ensure his family's safety, and has said that on the rare celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his [emissions](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).
+
But [planemakers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) say events such as the furore over his schedule have [included fresh](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) difficulties for a market already striving to justify its [contribution](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to cutting business costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including the usage of private jets are unfortunate when you think about that our market has actually delivered fuel effectiveness enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the [industry](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) make inroads with corporations and wealthy buyers. According to market data, billionaires only have a 19% business jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image transformation - with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on sustainable fuels" and organisers adding [alternative](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) fuel pumps for visiting airplanes - is not likely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 [luxury jet](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some experts remain hesitant that biojetfuels, usually blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a [considerable](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) effect on public understandings about travel.
+
"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from organization jet operators for sustainable fuels now far surpasses supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) at its California plant, might broaden production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter [companies](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and specialists are likewise seeing more interest from consumers who want to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a role in a corporate jet usage study his [business](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) recently finished for a Fortune 500 company.

"At the end of the day, I believe that price, expense per hour, variety, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I think people are ending up being more mindful of the sustainability of operations and how it affects the world."
