Clean Getaway: Meat Waste Joins Biofuels At Luxury Jet Show

By Allison Lampert

LAS VEGAS, Oct 22 (Reuters) – At the world’s biggest industry program in Las Vegas luxury jets are tempting purchasers with their smooth silhouettes, plush cabins – and progressively, their usage of alternative fuels.

Fuel producers and jetmakers are keen to showcase novel forms of air travel fuel considered less hazardous to the environment, from utilized cooking oil to the distinctly less glamorous meat waste.

Business jet operators, like airline companies, have bowed to environmental pressure on aviation and dedicated to halving carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005.

Their hope is that fuel to curb emissions might make company jets more appealing to ecologically mindful purchasers – especially corporations dealing with questions over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.

The availability of less polluting private jets might also spare the rich and popular the unfavorable publicity experienced by Britain’s Prince Harry and his partner Meghan over a recent private jet trip to southern France.

Five Gulfstream jets on display screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from inedible beef tallow.

The current waste-based fuels consist of “fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food industry,” stated Bryan Sherbacow, primary commercial officer of Boston-based biofuel 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 are expected to be powered by 150,000 gallons of other eco-friendly fuel mixes expected to be pumped at the program.

FLIGHT SHAMING

Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions internationally, but can emit, typically, approximately 20 times more carbon emissions per traveler mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.

Prince Harry has actually safeguarded his occasional usage of personal jets to guarantee his household’s security, and has actually stated that on the rare events he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.

But planemakers state incidents such as the furore over his schedule have actually added fresh obstacles for an industry already making every effort to validate its contribution to cutting business expenses.

“Incidents of flight shaming including the use of personal jets are regrettable when you consider that our market has delivered fuel efficiency improvements of 40% over the previous 40 years,” said Bombardier Aviation President David Coleal.

Bombardier thinks increased sustainable fuel use will assist the industry make inroads with corporations and wealthy buyers. According to market data, billionaires just have a 19% business jet ownership rate.

But even an image makeover – with jets sporting stickers like “this airplane flies on sustainable fuels” and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for checking out aircrafts – is unlikely to satisfy all critics at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet occasion.

Environmentalists and some experts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, usually blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a significant impact on public perceptions about luxury travel.

“No quantity of Jatropha or Brazil-nut fuel can make business jets look eco-friendly,” said aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia.

Demand from service jet operators for eco-friendly fuels now far exceeds supply and their interest could drive future production, Sherbacow stated.

World Energy, which produces 40 million gallons of biofuel at its California plant, might broaden production up to 150 million gallons by 2022.

Corporate charter companies and experts are likewise seeing more interest from clients who wish to buy carbon credits to balance out emissions from their flights.

Brian Proctor, CEO of Mente Group, a U.S. consultancy, said emissions played a function in a business jet usage research study his business recently finished for a Fortune 500 business.

“At the end of the day, I think that rate, cost per hour, variety, speed and performance, that’s still the (sales) driver. But I think individuals are becoming more familiar with the sustainability of operations and how it impacts the planet.” (Reporting By Allison Lampert, Editing by Tim Hepher and Alexandra Hudson)
