<br>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 drawing buyers with their sleek shapes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their usage of alternative fuels.<br>
|
||||
<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to [showcase](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) novel kinds of air travel fuel deemed less harmful to the environment, from used cooking oil to the clearly less [attractive meat](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) waste.<br>
|
||||
<br>Business jet operators, like airlines, have acquiesced environmental pressure on aviation and devoted to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.<br>
|
||||
<br>Their hope is that [adopting eco-friendly](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) fuel to curb emissions might make [business jets](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) more appealing to environmentally mindful purchasers - particularly corporations dealing with [concerns](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) over sustainability from investors or green campaign groups.<br>
|
||||
<br>The accessibility of less contaminating personal jets could likewise spare the rich and well-known the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his other half Meghan over a current private jet journey to southern France.<br>
|
||||
<br>Five Gulfstream jets on display in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.<br>
|
||||
<br>The newest waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief business officer of Boston-based [biofuel](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) manufacturer World Energy, which [produces fuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
|
||||
<br>"All of our item is inedible."<br>
|
||||
<br>Some of the other 79 on display screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel blends anticipated to be pumped at the program.<br>
|

<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
|
||||
<br>Private jets [represent](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions internationally, however can emit, on average, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.<br>
|
||||
<br>Prince Harry has protected his periodic usage of private jets to ensure his household's safety, and has actually said that on the rare occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
|
||||
<br>But planemakers state occurrences such as the furore over his travel plan have included fresh challenges for a market currently aiming to justify its contribution to cutting business expenses.<br>
|
||||
<br>"Incidents of flight shaming involving the usage of private jets are unfortunate when you consider that our market has provided fuel effectiveness enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
|
||||
<br>Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to market information, billionaires only have a 19% service jet ownership rate.<br>
|
||||
<br>But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting [sticker](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) labels like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for [visiting planes](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) - is not likely to satisfy all [critics](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) at the Oct 22-24 [luxury jet](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) event.<br>
|
||||
<br>Environmentalists and some experts stay doubtful that biojetfuels, generally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant effect on public perceptions about high-end travel.<br>
|
||||
<br>"No amount of [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," said air travel expert [Richard Aboulafia](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).<br>
|
||||
<br>Demand from business jet operators for renewable fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.<br>
|
||||
<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) at its California plant, might broaden production approximately 150 million [gallons](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) by 2022.<br>
|
||||
<br>Corporate charter business and experts are also seeing more interest from clients who want to purchase carbon credits to offset emissions from their [flights](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy).<br>
|
||||
<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions contributed in a [business](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) jet usage research study his [company](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) just recently finished for a Fortune 500 business.<br>
|
||||
<br>"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, variety, 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 impacts the planet."
