+<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry program in Las Vegas high-end jets are tempting buyers with their smooth shapes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their use of alternative fuels.<br>
+<br>Fuel manufacturers and jetmakers are keen to display novel kinds of [air travel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) fuel deemed less damaging to the climate, from utilized cooking oil to the clearly less glamorous meat waste.<br>
+<br>Business jet operators, like airline companies, have acquiesced environmental pressure on [aviation](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) and [committed](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) to cutting in [half carbon](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) emissions by 2050 [compared](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that embracing renewable fuel to curb emissions might make business jets more appealing to environmentally conscious buyers - particularly corporations facing questions over sustainability from investors or green campaign groups.<br>
+<br>The availability of less [polluting private](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) jets might also spare the rich and famous the negative promotion experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his spouse Meghan over a recent private jet trip to southern France.<br>
+<br>Five Gulfstream jets on screen in Las Vegas are using [California-produced fuel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) from inedible beef tallow.<br>
+<br>The most recent waste-based fuels [consist](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) of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary business [officer](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
+<br>"All of our item is inedible."<br>
+<br>A few of the other 79 airplane on display are [expected](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other [sustainable fuel](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) mixes  to be pumped at the show.<br>
+<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
+<br>Private jets account for less than 0.1% of overall annual carbon emissions worldwide, but can emit, usually, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.<br>
+<br>Prince Harry has defended his occasional use of private jets to ensure his household's security, and has actually stated that on the unusual celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But planemakers state events such as the furore over his schedule have added fresh difficulties for an industry already striving to justify its contribution to cutting business expenses.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming involving using personal jets are regrettable when you think about that our industry has provided fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
+<br>Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make [inroads](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) with corporations and rich buyers. According to industry data, billionaires just have a 19% [organization jet](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) ownership rate.<br>
+<br>But even an image makeover - with jets sporting [stickers](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) like "this airplane flies on renewable fuels" and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for going to planes - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some [analysts](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) remain [doubtful](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) that biojetfuels, normally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable effect on public understandings about high-end travel.<br>
+<br>"No amount of [Jatropha](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 service jets look eco-friendly," said air travel [analyst](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Richard Aboulafia.<br>
+<br>Demand from business jet operators for sustainable fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow stated.<br>
+<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) at its California plant, could [broaden production](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) up to 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
+<br>Corporate charter business and consultants are likewise seeing more interest from clients who want to purchase carbon credits to offset emissions from their flights.<br>
+<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions contributed in a corporate jet usage research study his business recently finished for a Fortune 500 company.<br>
+<br>"At the end of the day, I believe that cost, expense 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 planet."
