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) greatest market show in Las Vegas luxury jets are [enticing buyers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) with their sleek silhouettes, plush cabins - and progressively, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are eager to [showcase](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) novel kinds of air travel [fuel deemed](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) less harmful to the environment, from oil to the clearly less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airlines, have acquiesced environmental pressure on aviation and devoted to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that adopting sustainable fuel to curb emissions might make business jets more attractive to environmentally conscious buyers - specifically [corporations dealing](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) with concerns over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.
+
The availability of less polluting personal jets might likewise spare the rich and well-known the unfavorable publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a recent private jet trip to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most recent waste-based fuels consist of "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](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) 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 [expected](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other sustainable fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the program.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of total [yearly carbon](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) emissions globally, but can discharge, on average, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter [company Victor](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).
+
Prince Harry has actually defended his occasional usage of personal jets to ensure his [family's](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) safety, and has stated that on the [uncommon occasions](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers say occurrences such as the furore over his schedule have added fresh obstacles for a market already striving to validate its contribution to cutting business costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including using private jets are unfortunate when you consider that our industry has actually delivered fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased [sustainable fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) usage will help the market make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to industry information, billionaires just have a 19% company jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image transformation - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for visiting planes - is not likely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some experts remain skeptical that biojetfuels, typically mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable influence on public perceptions about luxury travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) 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 goes beyond supply and their interest might drive future production, [Sherbacow](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) stated.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) at its California plant, could expand production as much as 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and specialists are also seeing more interest from consumers who wish to buy carbon credits to offset emissions from their [flights](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions contributed in a business jet usage research study his [company](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) just recently completed for a Fortune 500 business.
+
"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, expense per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I think people are becoming more aware of the sustainability of operations and how it affects the planet."
