LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest market show in Las Vegas luxury jets are tempting buyers with their smooth silhouettes, plush cabins - and significantly, their usage of alternative fuels.
+
Fuel manufacturers and [jetmakers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) are eager to display unique kinds of aviation fuel considered less harmful to the environment, from used cooking oil to the distinctly less attractive meat waste.
+
Business jet operators, like airlines, have acquiesced ecological pressure on air travel and committed to cutting in [half carbon](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) emissions by 2050 compared to 2005.
+
Their hope is that fuel to suppress emissions might make business jets more appealing to [ecologically conscious](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) buyers - specifically corporations facing questions over [sustainability](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) from investors or green campaign groups.

Five Gulfstream jets on display in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.
+
The most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, primary commercial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](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) producer World Energy, which [produces fuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.
+
"All of our product is inedible."

A few of the other 79 aircraft on display screen are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other sustainable fuel blends [expected](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) to be pumped at the program.

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions globally, but can give off, typically, as much as 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the [London-based private](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) charter [firm Victor](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).

Prince Harry has actually defended his periodic usage of private jets to ensure his family's safety, and has stated that on the uncommon events he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.

"Incidents of flight shaming involving the usage of personal jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has actually provided fuel effectiveness improvements of 40% over the past 40 years," stated Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.
+
Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel usage will assist the market make inroads with corporations and wealthy purchasers. According to industry data, billionaires just have a 19% company jet ownership rate.
+
But even an image makeover - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this aircraft flies on sustainable fuels" and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for visiting [airplanes -](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is unlikely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 [luxury jet](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) event.

Environmentalists and some experts stay [doubtful](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) that biojetfuels, typically blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial effect on [public perceptions](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) about [high-end travel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).
+
"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," stated air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.
+
Demand from organization jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow stated.

World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) at its California plant, could expand production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.

"At the end of the day, I think that rate, cost per hour, range, speed and performance, that's still the (sales) driver.
