LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest market show in Las Vegas luxury jets are luring buyers with their sleek shapes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their use of alternative fuels.

[Fuel manufacturers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and jetmakers are keen to showcase novel forms of aviation fuel deemed less harmful to the environment, from used cooking oil to the clearly less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airline companies, have acquiesced ecological pressure on air travel and dedicated to [halving carbon](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) [emissions](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) by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing eco-friendly fuel to curb emissions could make service jets more attractive to ecologically mindful purchasers - particularly corporations dealing with questions over sustainability from shareholders or green project groups.
+
The schedule of less polluting private jets could likewise spare the abundant and popular the unfavorable promotion experienced by Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan over a recent personal jet journey to [southern](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) France.
+
Five [Gulfstream jets](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) on screen in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from [inedible](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) beef tallow.
+
The most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary commercial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our item is inedible."
+
Some of the other 79 airplane on display are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other sustainable fuel blends expected to be pumped at the show.
+
FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon globally, however can release, usually, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal [charter firm](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Victor.
+
[Prince Harry](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) has actually [defended](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) his occasional use of private jets to [guarantee](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) 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 such as the furore over his travel plan have added fresh challenges for a market currently making every effort to validate its contribution to cutting business expenses.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming involving using private jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has provided fuel efficiency improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation [President David](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) Coleal.
+
Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel use will help the market make inroads with corporations and wealthy purchasers. According to market information, billionaires only have a 19% service jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers including alternative fuel pumps for going to aircrafts - is unlikely to please all [critics](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some [analysts stay](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) doubtful that biojetfuels, normally mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable effect on public perceptions about high-end travel.
+
"No amount of [Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make service jets look eco-friendly," said air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from [business jet](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) operators for [renewable fuels](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) now far surpasses supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow said.
+
World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) at its California plant, could broaden production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.
+
Corporate charter business and [experts](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) are also seeing more interest from clients who desire to purchase carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.
+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions contributed in a corporate jet usage study his business recently finished for a Fortune 500 company.

"At the end of the day, I believe that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I believe individuals are ending up being more knowledgeable about the sustainability of operations and how it affects the planet."
