+<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's most significant market program in Las Vegas [luxury jets](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) are luring buyers with their streamlined silhouettes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their use of alternative fuels.<br>
+<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are eager to display novel forms of aviation fuel considered less harmful to the environment, from used cooking oil to the definitely less  meat waste.<br>
+<br>Business jet operators, like airlines, have actually bowed to environmental pressure on air travel and devoted to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 [compared](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) to 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that embracing renewable fuel to suppress emissions could make organization jets more attractive to environmentally conscious buyers - particularly corporations facing concerns over sustainability from [investors](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) or green project groups.<br>
+<br>The availability of less polluting private jets could also spare the abundant and well-known the unfavorable publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his better half Meghan over a recent personal jet trip to [southern France](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053).<br>
+<br>Five [Gulfstream jets](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) 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 by-products of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief industrial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.<br>
+<br>"All of our product is inedible."<br>
+<br>Some of the other 79 aircraft on screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the show.<br>
+<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
+<br>Private jets represent less than 0.1% of overall annual carbon [emissions](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) worldwide, but can discharge, on average, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.<br>
+<br>Prince Harry has actually safeguarded his periodic usage of [personal](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) jets to ensure his family's security, and has stated that on the [unusual events](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But planemakers state incidents such as the furore over his [travel plan](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) have added fresh obstacles for a market currently striving to [justify](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) its contribution to cutting corporate costs.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming including making use of private jets are regrettable when you think about that our market has delivered fuel efficiency improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," stated Bombardier [Aviation President](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) David Coleal.<br>
+<br>Bombardier believes increased [sustainable fuel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) usage will assist the industry make inroads with corporations and rich buyers. According to industry information, billionaires only have a 19% business jet [ownership](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) rate.<br>
+<br>But even an image makeover - with jets [sporting sticker](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) labels like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and [organisers including](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) alternative fuel pumps for going to airplanes - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet event.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some experts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, typically mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on public understandings about high-end travel.<br>
+<br>"No amount of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) or Brazil-nut fuel can make service jets look eco-friendly," said [air travel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
+<br>Demand from business jet operators for renewable fuels now far surpasses supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.<br>
+<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) at its California plant, might expand production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
+<br>Corporate charter companies and consultants are likewise seeing more interest from customers who want to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.<br>
+<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions contributed in a corporate jet usage study his business just recently [completed](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) for a Fortune 500 company.<br>
+<br>"At the end of the day, I believe that price, cost per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I believe individuals are becoming more mindful of the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet."
