+
Five Gulfstream jets on [display](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) in Las Vegas are [utilizing California-produced](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) fuel from inedible beef tallow.

FLIGHT SHAMING
+
Private jets represent less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon emissions internationally, however can release, typically, up to 20 times more [carbon emissions](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.

+
But planemakers state occurrences such as the furore over his itinerary have actually added fresh challenges for a market already striving to validate its contribution to cutting corporate costs.
+
"Incidents of flight shaming including using personal jets are unfortunate when you consider that our industry has delivered fuel performance improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years," stated Bombardier [Aviation President](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) David Coleal.

But even an image remodeling - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this aircraft flies on sustainable fuels" and [organisers including](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) alternative fuel pumps for visiting planes - is not likely to please all critics at the Oct 22-24 high-end jet occasion.
+
Environmentalists and some experts stay [doubtful](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) that biojetfuels, generally mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant effect on [public perceptions](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) about high-end travel.

"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) or Brazil-nut fuel can make business jets look eco-friendly," said aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia.

Demand from organization jet operators for sustainable fuels now far goes beyond supply and their interest might drive future production, Sherbacow stated.

Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a function in a business jet utilization research study his business just recently completed for a [Fortune](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) 500 business.

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