Fuel manufacturers and jetmakers are eager to display unique kinds of aviation fuel considered less damaging to the climate, from utilized cooking oil to the clearly less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have actually bowed to ecological pressure on air travel and devoted to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.
+
Their hope is that adopting renewable fuel to suppress emissions might make company jets more appealing to ecologically mindful purchasers - particularly corporations dealing with questions over sustainability from shareholders or green project groups.

Five Gulfstream jets on screen in Las Vegas are using 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, primary business officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) manufacturer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.

"All of our item is inedible."

Some of the other 79 aircraft on display are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other renewable fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the program.

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets account for less than 0.1% of overall yearly carbon emissions globally, however can give off, on average, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.
+
Prince Harry has safeguarded his occasional use of personal jets to ensure his household's security, and has said that on the uncommon occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers state incidents such as the furore over his itinerary have actually added fresh challenges for a market already aiming to [justify](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) its [contribution](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) to [cutting corporate](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including the usage of private jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has provided fuel effectiveness enhancements of 40% over the previous 40 years," [stated Bombardier](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Aviation President David Coleal.

According to market data, billionaires only have a 19% service jet [ownership](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this aircraft flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for checking out aircrafts - is not likely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some analysts stay doubtful that biojetfuels, usually mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant influence on [public perceptions](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) about luxury travel.
+
"No amount of [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," said air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from [business jet](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) operators for sustainable fuels now far surpasses supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) at its California plant, could broaden production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter business and consultants are also seeing more interest from clients who wish to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, [stated emissions](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) played a role in a business jet utilization research study his company recently finished for a Fortune 500 [company](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).

"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I believe people are ending up being more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet." (Reporting By Allison Lampert, Editing by Tim Hepher and Alexandra Hudson)
