LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry show in Las Vegas high-end jets are drawing buyers with their smooth shapes, luxurious cabins - and increasingly, their use of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to display novel types of aviation fuel considered less damaging to the environment, from utilized cooking oil to the clearly less attractive meat waste.
+
[Business jet](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) operators, like airlines, have actually acquiesced ecological pressure on aviation and dedicated to cutting in half carbon [emissions](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) by 2050 compared with 2005.
+
Their hope is that fuel to suppress emissions could make service jets more appealing to environmentally mindful purchasers - specifically corporations [facing questions](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.
+
The schedule of less [contaminating personal](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) jets could also spare the abundant and well-known the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a current personal jet trip to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible [beef tallow](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).
+
The current waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary commercial [officer](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 aircraft on display are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other [eco-friendly fuel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) blends expected to be pumped at the program.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions globally, but can produce, usually, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter [firm Victor](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048).
+
Prince Harry has protected his occasional usage of [personal](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) jets to guarantee his family's security, and has actually said that on the uncommon celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his [emissions](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608).
+
But [planemakers](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) state [incidents](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) such as the furore over his schedule have actually included fresh difficulties for a market currently striving to justify its [contribution](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to cutting business costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including using personal jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has provided fuel performance improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with [corporations](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and rich buyers. According to industry information, billionaires just have a 19% company jet [ownership](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) rate.
+
But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this aircraft flies on renewable fuels" and organisers including [alternative](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) fuel pumps for checking out planes - is unlikely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts remain skeptical that biojetfuels, typically blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable effect on public perceptions about [high-end](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from business jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far surpasses supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which [produces](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) at its California plant, could expand production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter business and specialists are also seeing more interest from customers who wish to purchase carbon credits to offset emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a role in a corporate jet utilization research study his company recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.
+
"At the end of the day, I believe that price, expense per hour, variety, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I think individuals are becoming more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it affects the planet." (Reporting By Allison Lampert, Editing by Tim Hepher and Alexandra Hudson)
