LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the [world's biggest](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) market program in Las Vegas luxury jets are enticing buyers with their smooth silhouettes, plush cabins - and increasingly, their usage of [alternative fuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).
+
Fuel producers and [jetmakers](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) are keen to display unique forms of air travel fuel deemed less hazardous to the environment, from used [cooking oil](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to the [noticeably](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have actually bowed to environmental pressure on air travel and dedicated to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that adopting eco-friendly fuel to curb emissions might make organization jets more [appealing](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to environmentally conscious buyers - particularly corporations dealing with concerns over sustainability from investors or green campaign groups.
+
The schedule of less polluting personal jets might also spare the abundant and well-known the negative promotion experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan over a recent personal jet journey to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most [current waste-based](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) fuels [consist](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) of "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food industry," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary business officer of Boston-based [biofuel manufacturer](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.

"All of our product is inedible."

A few of the other 79 airplane on screen are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other renewable fuel blends expected to be pumped at the program.

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
[Private jets](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) represent less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon emissions globally, however can produce, typically, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal [charter](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has actually [safeguarded](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) his occasional usage of private jets to ensure his family's security, and has said that on the unusual celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers state occurrences such as the furore over his [itinerary](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) have actually included fresh [challenges](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) for a market already aiming to justify its contribution to cutting business expenses.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including making use of private jets are regrettable when you think about that our industry has actually delivered fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier thinks [increased sustainable](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) fuel usage will help the market make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to market data, billionaires only have a 19% organization jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for checking out airplanes - is unlikely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet event.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts stay skeptical that biojetfuels, generally combined 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial impact on public understandings about [luxury travel](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).
+
"No amount of [Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," said aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from business jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) at its California plant, might broaden production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and specialists are likewise seeing more interest from consumers who wish to [purchase carbon](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) credits to offset emissions from their [flights](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions contributed in a corporate jet [usage study](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) his company recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.
+
"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, variety, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I think individuals are becoming more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet."
