LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest [industry](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) show in Las Vegas luxury jets are [enticing buyers](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) with their [streamlined](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) silhouettes, [luxurious cabins](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) - and significantly, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
[Fuel manufacturers](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and jetmakers are eager to display novel forms of air travel fuel deemed less damaging to the environment, from used cooking oil to the clearly less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airlines, have acquiesced ecological pressure on air travel and devoted to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing sustainable fuel to suppress emissions might make organization jets more appealing to ecologically conscious buyers - especially [corporations](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) facing concerns over sustainability from investors or green campaign groups.
+
The [accessibility](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) of less [polluting personal](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) jets could likewise spare the abundant and famous the negative promotion [experienced](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) by Britain's Prince Harry and his better over a recent private jet journey to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary business officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 airplane on display are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel blends expected to be pumped at the program.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon emissions internationally, but can emit, on average, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.
+
Prince Harry has defended his [periodic usage](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) of private jets to guarantee his [family's](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) safety, and has said that on the unusual events he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers say occurrences such as the furore over his [itinerary](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) have included fresh obstacles for an industry already making every effort to validate its contribution to cutting corporate expenses.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving using private jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has actually provided fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel usage will help the [industry](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) make inroads with corporations and wealthy purchasers. According to industry data, billionaires only have a 19% [organization jet](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) ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with [jets sporting](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) sticker labels like "this airplane flies on sustainable fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for checking out aircrafts - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 [luxury jet](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) event.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts remain [hesitant](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) that biojetfuels, usually blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant effect on public understandings about luxury travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make service jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from service jet operators for renewable fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) at its California plant, could expand production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and consultants are also seeing more interest from clients who want to purchase carbon credits to [offset emissions](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a function in a business jet usage research study his business just recently finished for a Fortune 500 business.

"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, variety, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I believe people are ending up being more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the world."
