+<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's most significant industry program in Las Vegas [luxury jets](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) are luring buyers with their streamlined silhouettes, luxurious cabins - and increasingly, their use of alternative fuels.<br>
+<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to display novel kinds of aviation fuel considered less hazardous to the environment, from utilized cooking oil to the definitely less attractive meat waste.<br>
+<br>Business jet operators, like airline companies, have bowed to environmental pressure on aviation and committed to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that [adopting sustainable](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) fuel to curb emissions might make company jets more attractive to ecologically conscious purchasers - particularly corporations dealing with questions over sustainability from shareholders or green project groups.<br>
+<br>The schedule of less contaminating private jets could also spare the rich and popular the unfavorable publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his better half Meghan over a recent private jet trip to southern France.<br>
+<br>Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from [inedible beef](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) tallow.<br>
+<br>The current waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary industrial [officer](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by [Gulfstream](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).<br>

+<br>Some of the other 79 airplane on screen are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel mixes expected 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](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) internationally, however can release, on average, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based [personal charter](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) firm Victor.<br>
+<br>Prince Harry has protected his occasional use of personal jets to guarantee his family's safety, and has actually stated that on the  he does not [fly commercially](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But [planemakers](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) say events such as the furore over his travel plan have included fresh challenges for a market currently making every effort to validate its contribution to cutting business costs.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming including the use of personal jets are regrettable when you think about that our industry has provided fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
+<br>Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel use will help the market make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to market information, billionaires only have a 19% service jet [ownership rate](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>
+<br>But even an image makeover - with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on renewable fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for [visiting planes](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) - is not likely to please all [critics](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some analysts remain skeptical that biojetfuels, normally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on public perceptions about high-end travel.<br>
+<br>"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," said aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
+<br>Demand from service jet operators for sustainable fuels now far [surpasses](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) supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow stated.<br>

+<br>Corporate charter business and specialists are also seeing more interest from clients who want to [purchase carbon](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) credits to [offset emissions](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) 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).<br>

+<br>"At the end of the day, I think that rate, expense per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) driver. But I think individuals are becoming more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it affects the planet."
