LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's greatest market program in Las Vegas luxury jets are enticing buyers with their sleek shapes, luxurious cabins - and increasingly, their usage of [alternative fuels](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to showcase novel forms of [aviation fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) deemed less hazardous to the environment, from used cooking oil to the definitely less [glamorous](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airlines, have bowed to ecological pressure on aviation and dedicated to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing eco-friendly fuel to curb emissions could make company jets more attractive to [ecologically conscious](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) purchasers - specifically corporations facing questions over sustainability from investors or [green campaign](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) groups.
+
The schedule of less contaminating personal jets might also spare the abundant and famous the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a recent personal jet trip to southern France.
+
Five [Gulfstream](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) jets on display screen in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most [current waste-based](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food industry," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary business officer of [Boston-based](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) manufacturer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by [Gulfstream](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).
+
"All of our item is inedible."
+
Some of the other 79 airplane on screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other [eco-friendly fuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) mixes expected to be pumped at the show.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
represent less than 0.1% of overall yearly carbon emissions worldwide, but can give off, typically, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter [company Victor](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).
+
Prince Harry has actually safeguarded his periodic use of personal jets to ensure his family's safety, and has actually stated that on the rare celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers state occurrences such as the furore over his [schedule](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) have added fresh challenges for an industry already making every effort to [validate](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) its contribution to cutting corporate expenses.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including using personal jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has actually provided fuel efficiency enhancements of 40% over the past 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel use will help the industry make inroads with [corporations](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) and rich buyers. According to industry data, billionaires only have a 19% service jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting stickers like "this aircraft flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for going to airplanes - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet event.
+
Environmentalists and some experts stay skeptical that biojetfuels, usually [combined](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial influence on public understandings about high-end travel.
+
"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) or Brazil-nut fuel can make business jets look eco-friendly," stated air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from company 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.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) at its California plant, could broaden production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
[Corporate charter](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) [business](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) and experts are likewise seeing more interest from consumers who wish to [purchase carbon](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) credits to offset emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a function in a corporate jet usage research study his company just recently finished for a Fortune 500 business.
+
"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and performance, 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."
