LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry show in Las [Vegas luxury](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) jets are tempting buyers with their streamlined silhouettes, plush cabins - and increasingly, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to display unique forms of air travel fuel considered less damaging to the environment, from utilized cooking oil to the clearly less waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have acquiesced environmental pressure on [air travel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) and dedicated to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that adopting eco-friendly fuel to [curb emissions](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) could make [organization](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) jets more appealing to environmentally mindful purchasers - specifically corporations facing questions over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.
+
The [accessibility](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) of less contaminating private jets could also spare the rich and famous the negative promotion experienced by [Britain's Prince](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Harry and his other half Meghan over a recent private jet trip to [southern France](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).
+
Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The current waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, [chief commercial](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) producer World Energy, which [produces fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our item is inedible."
+
Some of the other 79 airplane on [display screen](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) are anticipated to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the program.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
[Private jets](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions globally, but can release, usually, as much as 20 times more [carbon emissions](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) per [traveler](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter company Victor.
+
Prince Harry has actually protected his occasional use of [personal jets](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to ensure his household's safety, and has actually said that on the rare occasions he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
+
But planemakers say occurrences such as the furore over his schedule have added fresh challenges for a market already making every effort to justify its contribution to cutting business [expenses](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving using personal jets are regrettable when you think about that our market has delivered fuel performance enhancements of 40% over the past 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel use will assist the market make inroads with corporations and wealthy buyers. According to industry data, billionaires just have a 19% company jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting stickers like "this aircraft flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers adding [alternative](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) fuel pumps for going to aircrafts - is not likely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some [analysts stay](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) doubtful that biojetfuels, generally mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant effect on public understandings about luxury travel.
+
"No amount of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) or Brazil-nut fuel can make business jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation expert Richard [Aboulafia](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86).
+
Demand from company jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far surpasses supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) at its California plant, might expand production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter companies and specialists are also seeing more interest from customers who desire to buy carbon credits to offset emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a function in a corporate jet utilization study his business recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.
+
"At the end of the day, I think that rate, expense per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) chauffeur. But I believe people are ending up being more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the world."
