Las Vegas : The National Business Aviation Association and other industry groups on Tuesday committed to “net zero” carbon emissions by 2050, as the sector's flagship private jet show kicked off in Las Vegas.

Aviation brokers and other industry executives at the show told Reuters that buyers are looking for more efficient models and asking about offsetting, but none are putting off purchases of corporate aircraft or private travel due to the environment. A week ago, a group representing global airlines set the same target at its annual general meeting in Boston.

The U.S. Department of Energy website says sustainable aviation fuel is"made from renewable biomass and waste resources" and has the potential"to deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuel but with a fraction of its carbon footprint."
