<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the [world's biggest](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) market show in Las Vegas high-end jets are enticing buyers with their smooth shapes, plush cabins - and increasingly, their use of alternative fuels.<br>
<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are eager to display novel kinds of aviation fuel considered less hazardous to the climate, from used cooking oil to the clearly less glamorous meat waste.<br>
<br>Business jet operators, like airline companies, have actually bowed to environmental pressure on air travel and dedicated to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.<br>
<br>Their hope is that adopting sustainable fuel to suppress emissions might make company jets more attractive to ecologically conscious buyers - especially corporations facing concerns over sustainability from investors or [green campaign](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) groups.<br>
<br>The availability of less [contaminating personal](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) jets could likewise spare the rich and popular the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a [current](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) private jet journey to southern France.<br>
<br>Five Gulfstream jets on [display](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.<br>
<br>The most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary industrial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) manufacturer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
<br>"All of our product is inedible."<br>
<br>Some of the other 79 aircraft on display are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other renewable fuel blends anticipated to be pumped at the [program](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/).<br>
<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
<br>Private jets account for less than 0.1% of overall yearly carbon emissions worldwide, however can produce, typically, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.<br>
<br>Prince Harry has actually safeguarded his periodic use of private jets to guarantee his family's security, and has said that on the unusual occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
<br>But planemakers state [incidents](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) such as the furore over his travel plan have included fresh difficulties for an industry already aiming to justify its contribution to cutting corporate costs.<br>
<br>"Incidents of flight shaming involving making use of private jets are unfortunate when you consider that our market has actually delivered fuel efficiency enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
<br>Bombardier thinks [increased sustainable](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) fuel usage will help the market make inroads with corporations and wealthy buyers. According to industry information, billionaires just have a 19% service jet [ownership](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) rate.<br>
<br>But even an image transformation - with jets sporting stickers like "this aircraft flies on renewable fuels" and [organisers adding](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) alternative fuel pumps for going to planes - is not likely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet occasion.<br>
<br>Environmentalists and some analysts stay skeptical that biojetfuels, normally mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a [substantial impact](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) on public perceptions about high-end travel.<br>
<br>"No amount of [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) or Brazil-nut fuel can make business jets look eco-friendly," said air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
<br>Demand from organization jet [operators](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) for sustainable fuels now far [surpasses](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.<br>
<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) at its California plant, could broaden production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
<br>Corporate charter and experts are likewise seeing more interest from consumers who wish to purchase carbon credits to offset emissions from their [flights](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br>
<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a function in a business jet usage study his company recently completed for a [Fortune](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) 500 company.<br>
<br>"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I believe people are becoming more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet."
