LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - At the world's biggest industry show in Las [Vegas high-end](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) jets are tempting purchasers with their [streamlined](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) shapes, luxurious cabins - and significantly, their use of alternative fuels.

Fuel manufacturers and jetmakers are eager to display novel forms of [aviation fuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) deemed less damaging to the environment, from used cooking oil to the noticeably less [attractive meat](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) waste.

Five Gulfstream jets on screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from [inedible beef](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) tallow.

The most recent waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief commercial officer of [Boston-based](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.

"All of our product is inedible."

Some of the other 79 aircraft on [display screen](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other sustainable fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the program.

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon [emissions](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) worldwide, but can produce, typically, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.

Prince Harry has actually protected his [periodic](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) use of personal jets to guarantee his family's security, and has actually stated that on the uncommon celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.

Bombardier believes increased sustainable fuel use will assist the market make inroads with corporations and rich purchasers. According to industry data, billionaires just have a 19% service jet ownership rate.

But even an image makeover - with jets sporting stickers like "this aircraft flies on eco-friendly fuels" and organisers adding [alternative fuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) pumps for visiting airplanes - is not likely to satisfy all [critics](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet occasion.
+
[Environmentalists](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and some analysts remain hesitant that biojetfuels, generally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant impact on public understandings about high-end travel.
+
"No amount of [Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," said air travel analyst Richard Aboulafia.

+
Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions contributed in a business jet utilization research study his company just recently finished for a Fortune 500 company.

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