+<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry program in Las Vegas high-end jets are drawing buyers with their streamlined shapes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their usage of alternative fuels.<br>
+<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to display novel types of air travel fuel considered less hazardous to the climate, from used cooking oil to the noticeably less glamorous meat waste.<br>
+<br>Business jet operators, like [airline](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) companies, have acquiesced ecological pressure on air travel and devoted to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that embracing eco-friendly fuel to suppress emissions could make business jets more appealing to environmentally conscious purchasers - specifically corporations facing concerns over sustainability from [investors](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) or green campaign groups.<br>
+<br>The  of less contaminating [personal jets](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) could likewise spare the rich and popular the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a [current personal](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) jet trip to southern France.<br>
+<br>Five Gulfstream jets on screen in Las Vegas are using [California-produced fuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) from inedible beef tallow.<br>
+<br>The most recent waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary industrial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.<br>
+<br>"All of our item is inedible."<br>
+<br>Some of the other 79 airplane on display are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other [sustainable fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) mixes anticipated to be pumped at the show.<br>
+<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
+<br>Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions internationally, but can produce, typically, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal [charter](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) company Victor.<br>
+<br>[Prince Harry](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) has protected his periodic use of [personal jets](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to ensure his family's safety, and has actually said that on the rare occasions he does not fly [commercially](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But [planemakers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) state events such as the furore over his itinerary have actually included fresh challenges for a market currently aiming to justify its contribution to [cutting business](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) expenses.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming involving the usage of private jets are unfortunate when you consider that our industry has provided fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
+<br>Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel use will help the industry make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to industry data, billionaires only have a 19% [service jet](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) [ownership](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) rate.<br>
+<br>But even an image makeover - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on renewable fuels" and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for visiting aircrafts - is unlikely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet event.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some experts stay skeptical that biojetfuels, typically mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant impact on public perceptions about luxury travel.<br>
+<br>"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," said aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
+<br>Demand from company jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.<br>
+<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) at its California plant, might expand production as much as 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
+<br>Corporate charter business and experts are also seeing more interest from consumers who desire to buy carbon credits to balance out [emissions](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) from their [flights](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br>
+<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a function in a corporate jet usage research study his business recently finished for a [Fortune](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) 500 company.<br>
+<br>"At the end of the day, I believe that price, expense per hour, variety, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I believe people are becoming more aware of the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet." (Reporting By Allison Lampert, Editing by Tim Hepher and Alexandra Hudson)<br>
