LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the [world's biggest](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) industry program in Las Vegas luxury jets are luring buyers with their sleek silhouettes, plush cabins - and progressively, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel manufacturers and [jetmakers](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) are eager to showcase unique forms of [air travel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) fuel deemed less hazardous to the environment, from [utilized cooking](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) oil to the distinctly less glamorous meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have bowed to environmental pressure on aviation and dedicated to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.
+
Their hope is that [adopting eco-friendly](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) fuel to curb emissions could make business jets more appealing to ecologically mindful [purchasers](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) - specifically corporations facing concerns over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.
+
The schedule of less polluting personal jets might likewise spare the abundant and famous the [negative promotion](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) experienced by [Britain's Prince](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Harry and his spouse Meghan over a current private jet journey to [southern](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The current waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary commercial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) manufacturer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste [utilized](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 airplane on screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel mixes anticipated to be pumped at the .
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions internationally, however can release, typically, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has protected his occasional usage of [personal](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) jets to guarantee his [household's](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) safety, and has actually stated that on the uncommon celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers state events such as the furore over his schedule have actually included fresh obstacles for a market currently striving to validate its contribution to cutting business costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving the usage of personal jets are regrettable when you think about that our industry has delivered fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel usage will help the industry make inroads with corporations and rich buyers. According to industry data, billionaires only have a 19% service jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on renewable fuels" and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for going to aircrafts - is unlikely to satisfy all [critics](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) at the Oct 22-24 [high-end jet](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) event.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts remain skeptical that biojetfuels, typically combined 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable impact on public perceptions about high-end travel.
+
"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) or Brazil-nut fuel can make service jets look eco-friendly," said [air travel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from business jet operators for sustainable fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) at its California plant, might expand production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and experts are likewise seeing more interest from clients who want to buy carbon credits to balance out [emissions](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) from their [flights](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a function in a corporate jet usage study his company just recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.
+
"At the end of the day, I think that cost, expense per hour, variety, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I believe individuals are ending up being more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the world."
