LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's most significant market show in Las [Vegas luxury](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) jets are tempting purchasers with their [streamlined](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) shapes, [plush cabins](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) - and increasingly, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel manufacturers and [jetmakers](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) are keen to showcase novel kinds of air travel fuel deemed less damaging to the climate, from used cooking oil to the noticeably less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have acquiesced environmental pressure on aviation and committed to cutting in half carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that adopting renewable fuel to curb emissions might make [service jets](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) more attractive to ecologically conscious purchasers - specifically corporations dealing with concerns over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.
+
The schedule of less [polluting personal](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) jets might also spare the abundant and famous the unfavorable publicity experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his [partner Meghan](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) over a current private jet journey to southern France.
+
Five Gulfstream jets on [display](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The current waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food market," stated Bryan Sherbacow, chief business officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) manufacturer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste used by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our item is inedible."
+
A few of the other 79 airplane on display screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel blends anticipated to be pumped at the [program](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets for less than 0.1% of overall annual carbon emissions internationally, but can give off, typically, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per [passenger mile](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has defended his occasional use of private jets to guarantee his household's security, and has said that on the rare occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers state [occurrences](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) such as the furore over his itinerary have actually added fresh challenges for a market already striving to justify its contribution to cutting business costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including the use of private jets are unfortunate when you consider that our market has delivered fuel performance improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to market data, billionaires only have a 19% [company jet](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) ownership rate.
+
But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting stickers like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and [organisers adding](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) alternative fuel pumps for visiting planes - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 [luxury jet](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) event.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, normally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant effect on public perceptions about high-end travel.
+
"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) or Brazil-nut fuel can make service jets look eco-friendly," stated air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from service jet operators for sustainable fuels now far [exceeds](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) at its California plant, might broaden production as much as 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and experts are likewise seeing more interest from [customers](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) who want to purchase carbon [credits](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to offset emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions contributed in a corporate jet utilization study his business just recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.
+
"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, expense per hour, variety, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I believe people are ending up being more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the world."
