+<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry program 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 manufacturers and [jetmakers](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) are eager to  forms of aviation fuel considered less harmful to the climate, from used cooking oil to the distinctly less glamorous meat waste.<br>
+<br>[Business jet](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) operators, like airlines, have bowed to ecological pressure on aviation and committed to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that embracing eco-friendly fuel to suppress emissions might make business jets more [appealing](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) to ecologically conscious buyers - especially [corporations facing](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) concerns over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.<br>
+<br>The availability of less polluting personal jets might also spare the abundant and well-known the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his spouse Meghan over a current private jet journey to southern France.<br>
+<br>Five Gulfstream jets on display in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.<br>
+<br>The current waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, [chief commercial](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) [officer](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) 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 from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
+<br>"All of our item is inedible."<br>
+<br>Some of the other 79 [airplane](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) on 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 less than 0.1% of total [yearly carbon](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) emissions worldwide, but can give off, on average, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter company Victor.<br>
+<br>Prince Harry has actually defended his occasional usage of private jets to guarantee his [household's](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) safety, and has actually stated that on the uncommon celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But planemakers state incidents such as the furore over his travel plan have actually included fresh difficulties for an industry currently making every effort to validate its contribution to [cutting corporate](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) costs.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming including the usage of personal jets are unfortunate when you think about that our market has provided fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
+<br>Bombardier [believes increased](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) sustainable fuel use will help the market make inroads with [corporations](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and [rich purchasers](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). According to market data, billionaires just have a 19% organization jet ownership rate.<br>
+<br>But even an image transformation - with jets sporting stickers like "this aircraft flies on renewable fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for visiting airplanes - is not likely to please all [critics](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some analysts stay skeptical that biojetfuels, normally mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable impact on public [understandings](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) about luxury travel.<br>
+<br>"No amount of [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
+<br>Demand from company jet operators for renewable fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.<br>
+<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) at its California plant, might broaden production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
+<br>Corporate charter business and specialists are likewise seeing more interest from clients who wish to buy carbon credits to balance out [emissions](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) from their [flights](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).<br>
+<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, [stated emissions](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) played a role in a corporate jet utilization study his company recently completed for a Fortune 500 business.<br>
+<br>"At the end of the day, I think that rate, expense per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) driver. But I believe individuals are ending up being more aware of the sustainability of operations and how it affects the planet."
