LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's greatest market program in Las [Vegas luxury](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) jets are luring purchasers with their sleek silhouettes, plush cabins - and progressively, their use of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are eager to display novel kinds of aviation fuel considered less damaging to the climate, from utilized cooking oil to the noticeably less glamorous meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airlines, have actually acquiesced environmental [pressure](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) on aviation and committed to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing eco-friendly fuel to curb emissions might make company jets more attractive to [ecologically mindful](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) buyers - particularly corporations facing concerns over [sustainability](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) from investors or green project groups.
+
The schedule of less jets might likewise spare the rich and [popular](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) the negative promotion experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a recent personal jet trip to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on screen 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](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) manufacturer World Energy, which [produces fuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) from meat waste used by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 [aircraft](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) on display screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other [eco-friendly fuel](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) blends expected to be pumped at the show.

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of overall annual carbon emissions internationally, but can give off, on average, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.
+
Prince Harry has actually protected his [occasional](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) use of private jets to ensure his household's safety, and has said that on the unusual occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But [planemakers](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) say events such as the furore over his schedule have actually added fresh difficulties for a market currently striving to validate its contribution to cutting corporate expenses.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving the usage of private jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has provided fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel use will help the [industry](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to industry data, billionaires just have a 19% business jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting [sticker labels](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) like "this aircraft flies on sustainable fuels" and organisers adding alternative [fuel pumps](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) for [visiting planes](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, usually blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on public understandings about high-end travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," said aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from company jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far surpasses supply and their interest could drive future production, [Sherbacow](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) at its California plant, could expand production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and experts are likewise seeing more interest from clients who wish to buy carbon credits to balance out [emissions](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) from their [flights](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).
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a function in a corporate jet utilization study his 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 performance, that's still the (sales) driver. But I think individuals are ending up being more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it affects the world."
