LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry show in Las Vegas luxury jets are tempting purchasers with their sleek shapes, luxurious cabins - and increasingly, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel manufacturers and jetmakers are keen to display unique types of [air travel](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) fuel deemed less hazardous to the climate, from used cooking oil to the definitely less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like [airline](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) companies, 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 suppress emissions might make organization jets more attractive to ecologically mindful buyers - especially corporations dealing with questions over sustainability from [shareholders](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) or green campaign groups.
+
The schedule of less polluting private jets might also spare the abundant and popular the negative publicity experienced by [Britain's Prince](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) Harry and his partner Meghan over a recent personal jet trip to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on screen in Las Vegas are [utilizing California-produced](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most recent waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary business officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our item is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 [aircraft](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) on display screen are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel blends expected to be pumped at the show.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets [represent](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) less than 0.1% of total annual carbon [emissions](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) globally, however can produce, usually, approximately 20 times more per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has defended his periodic usage of personal jets to ensure his household's security, and has actually said that on the unusual events he does not fly commercially he [offsets](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) his emissions.
+
But planemakers state events such as the furore over his [travel plan](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) have actually added [fresh challenges](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) for a market already aiming to justify its contribution to cutting business costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving using personal jets are regrettable when you consider that our industry has actually provided fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich buyers. According to industry data, billionaires just have a 19% company jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on sustainable fuels" and organisers including alternative [fuel pumps](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) for visiting aircrafts - is unlikely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 [luxury jet](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) event.
+
Environmentalists and some experts stay hesitant that biojetfuels, usually combined 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on public understandings about high-end travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," said aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from organization jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) at its California plant, might [expand production](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) as much as 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter business and specialists are likewise seeing more interest from customers who want to purchase carbon credits to [offset emissions](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) from their [flights](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a function in a business jet usage study his [company](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) just recently finished for a Fortune 500 [company](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).

"At the end of the day, I believe that price, cost per hour, variety, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) driver. But I believe people are becoming more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet." (Reporting By Allison Lampert, Editing by Tim Hepher and Alexandra Hudson)
