+<br>Five [Gulfstream](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) jets on display screen in Las Vegas are utilizing California-produced fuel from [inedible beef](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) tallow.<br>
+<br>The most recent waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are by-products of the food industry," stated Bryan Sherbacow, [chief industrial](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>

+<br>Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions worldwide, however can give off, on average, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.<br>

+<br>Environmentalists and some experts remain doubtful that biojetfuels, normally blended 50-50 with kerosene, will make a considerable influence on public perceptions about high-end travel.<br>
+<br>"No quantity of [Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make business jets look eco-friendly," said air travel expert Richard Aboulafia.<br>
