<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's greatest industry program in Las [Vegas luxury](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) jets are tempting purchasers with their sleek silhouettes, plush cabins - and significantly, their use of alternative fuels.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are eager to [showcase](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) novel kinds of deemed less hazardous to the climate, from utilized cooking oil to the noticeably less attractive meat waste.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Business jet operators, like airline companies, have actually acquiesced environmental pressure on [aviation](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and dedicated to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Their hope is that embracing eco-friendly fuel to suppress emissions might make [organization jets](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) more attractive to environmentally mindful buyers - particularly [corporations facing](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) questions over sustainability from investors or green project groups.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The schedule of less contaminating personal jets might also spare the rich and well-known the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his better half Meghan over a current private jet journey to southern France.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are utilizing 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 industry," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary commercial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"All of our product is inedible."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>A few of the other 79 aircraft on [display](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 [gallons](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) of other sustainable fuel blends expected to be pumped at the program.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon [emissions](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) worldwide, but can emit, on average, 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 occasional usage of personal jets to ensure his household's safety, and has actually stated that on the uncommon occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>But [planemakers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) say events such as the furore over his itinerary have actually [included fresh](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) challenges for an industry already aiming to justify its contribution to cutting corporate costs.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"Incidents of flight shaming involving using personal jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has actually delivered fuel effectiveness enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," [stated Bombardier](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) 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 assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich buyers. According to market information, billionaires only have a 19% service jet ownership rate.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>But even an image [makeover -](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers including alternative [fuel pumps](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) for checking out aircrafts - is unlikely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Environmentalists and some experts stay hesitant that biojetfuels, usually blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial impact on public understandings about luxury travel.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," said aviation expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Demand from company jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far [exceeds supply](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of biofuel at its [California](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) plant, might broaden production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Corporate charter companies and specialists are likewise seeing more interest from customers who wish to buy carbon credits to offset emissions from their flights.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a role in a [corporate jet](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) usage study his [company](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) just recently finished for a Fortune 500 business.<br>
|

|
<br>"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) driver. But I believe individuals are ending up being more conscious of the sustainability of operations and how it affects the world."
