+<br>Business jet operators, like airlines, have acquiesced ecological pressure on air travel and devoted to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.<br>
+<br>Their hope is that embracing renewable fuel to suppress emissions might make company jets more appealing to ecologically conscious [buyers -](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) particularly [corporations dealing](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) with questions over sustainability from shareholders or [green campaign](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) groups.<br>

+<br>Five Gulfstream jets on [display](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) in Las Vegas are using California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.<br>
+<br>The most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief commercial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
+<br>"All of our product is inedible."<br>

+<br>FLIGHT SHAMING<br>
+<br>Private jets represent less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon emissions globally, but can produce, usually, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.<br>
+<br>Prince Harry has actually defended his periodic usage of private jets to ensure his family's security, and has said that on the unusual celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.<br>
+<br>But planemakers say events such as the furore over his travel plan have actually included fresh obstacles for a market already [striving](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) to validate its [contribution](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) to cutting business costs.<br>
+<br>"Incidents of flight shaming involving using private jets are regrettable when you think about that our industry has actually provided fuel efficiency improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years," said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.<br>

+<br>Environmentalists and some [analysts stay](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) doubtful that biojetfuels, normally combined 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial influence on public [understandings](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) about high-end travel.<br>

+<br>Demand from service jet operators for renewable fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow said.<br>
+<br>World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) at its California plant, could broaden production approximately 150 million gallons by 2022.<br>
+<br>[Corporate charter](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) companies and consultants are also seeing more interest from customers who wish to purchase carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.<br>
+<br>Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, stated emissions played a role in a corporate jet usage study his company just recently completed for a Fortune 500 company.<br>
+<br>"At the end of the day, I think that price, cost per hour, variety, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) motorist. But I believe people are ending up being more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it affects the world."
