Business jet operators, like [airline](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) companies, have actually bowed to environmental pressure on air travel and devoted to halving carbon emissions by 2050 [compared](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) to 2005.
+
Their hope is that embracing renewable fuel to [curb emissions](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) could make business jets more appealing to environmentally mindful buyers - especially corporations facing concerns over sustainability from shareholders or green campaign groups.

FLIGHT SHAMING

Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total yearly carbon emissions worldwide, however can emit, on average, as much as 20 times more [carbon emissions](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) per passenger mile than jetliners, according to the London-based private charter firm Victor.

"No amount of [Jatropha](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) or Brazil-nut fuel can make organization jets look eco-friendly," stated aviation expert [Richard](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) .

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