+<br>LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's most significant industry show in Las Vegas high-end jets are enticing purchasers with their streamlined shapes, [plush cabins](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) - and progressively, their usage of alternative fuels.<br>
+<br>Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to showcase unique forms of aviation fuel considered less harmful to the climate, from used cooking oil to the definitely less [glamorous meat](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) waste.<br>
+<br>Business jet operators, like [airline](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) companies, have bowed to environmental pressure on aviation and committed to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that embracing sustainable fuel to [curb emissions](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) could make organization jets more attractive to ecologically conscious purchasers - specifically corporations facing questions over sustainability from investors or green campaign groups.<br>
+<br>The availability of less polluting personal jets could also spare the  and famous the negative publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his [spouse Meghan](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) over a recent personal jet trip 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 most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary 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](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) to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other renewable fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the program.<br>
+<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
+<br>[Private jets](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) represent less than 0.1% of overall [annual carbon](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) emissions globally, however can emit, usually, approximately 20 times more [carbon emissions](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) per [traveler mile](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.<br>
+<br>Prince Harry has safeguarded his occasional use of [personal jets](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to guarantee his household's security, and has actually said that on the uncommon celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But planemakers state [incidents](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) such as the furore over his itinerary have actually included fresh difficulties for an industry already aiming to justify its contribution to cutting corporate costs.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming including using private jets are regrettable when you consider that our industry has actually delivered fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>
+<br>Bombardier thinks [increased sustainable](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich buyers. According to industry information, billionaires just have a 19% business jet ownership rate.<br>
+<br>But even an image makeover - with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and [organisers including](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) alternative fuel pumps for visiting aircrafts - is unlikely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet event.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some analysts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, usually combined 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on [public perceptions](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) about high-end 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](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) operators for renewable fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.<br>
+<br>World Energy, which [produces](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) at its California plant, could broaden production as much as 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
+<br>[Corporate charter](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) companies and experts are likewise seeing more interest from consumers who desire to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.<br>
+<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions contributed in a corporate jet usage research study his business just recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.<br>
+<br>"At the end of the day, I think that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) driver. But I believe people are becoming more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it affects the world."
