LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's greatest industry show in Las Vegas luxury jets are enticing purchasers with their sleek silhouettes, luxurious cabins - and increasingly, their use of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to display unique types of aviation fuel deemed less [hazardous](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to the climate, from used cooking oil to the noticeably less glamorous meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have bowed to [ecological pressure](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) on [air travel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and [committed](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.
+
Their hope is that adopting sustainable fuel to suppress emissions could make service jets more attractive to ecologically mindful buyers - particularly corporations dealing with questions over sustainability from shareholders or green project groups.
+
The availability of less [contaminating personal](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) jets could likewise spare the abundant and popular the [unfavorable publicity](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his [partner Meghan](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) over a recent private jet trip to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The latest waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief commercial officer of manufacturer World Energy, which [produces fuel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our item is inedible."
+
Some of the other 79 airplane on [display screen](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other renewable fuel blends expected to be pumped at the show.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of overall yearly carbon [emissions](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) internationally, but can discharge, usually, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per [passenger mile](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has safeguarded his occasional usage of [private](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) jets to ensure his family's security, and has actually said that on the uncommon celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers say incidents such as the furore over his [itinerary](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) have included fresh difficulties for an industry already aiming to [validate](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) its contribution to [cutting corporate](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) costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving making use of personal jets are unfortunate when you consider that our market has delivered fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes [increased sustainable](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) fuel usage will help the market make inroads with corporations and wealthy purchasers. According to industry data, billionaires only have a 19% business jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on renewable fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for checking out aircrafts - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some experts remain skeptical that biojetfuels, normally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial effect on public perceptions about high-end travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation analyst [Richard Aboulafia](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).
+
Demand from business jet operators for sustainable fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow stated.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) at its [California](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) plant, might expand production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter business and specialists are likewise seeing more interest from customers who wish to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their [flights](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86).
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions contributed in a business jet utilization study his company just recently completed for a Fortune 500 business.
+
"At the end of the day, I think that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I think people are ending up being more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it affects the world."
