+<br>The current waste-based fuels include "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food industry," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief commercial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) [manufacturer](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>

+<br>But even an image transformation - with jets sporting sticker labels like "this airplane flies on renewable fuels" and organisers adding alternative fuel pumps for visiting airplanes - is not likely to satisfy all [critics](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) at the Oct 22-24 luxury jet event.<br>
+<br>Environmentalists and some [analysts](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) remain doubtful that biojetfuels, usually mixed 50-50 with kerosene, will make a substantial effect on public understandings about high-end travel.<br>
+<br>"No quantity of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) or Brazil-nut fuel can make company jets look eco-friendly," said aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia.<br>

+<br>"At the end of the day, I think that price, expense per hour, range, speed and efficiency, that's still the (sales) driver.
