The military has ambitious plans to move beyond oil and gas<\/h2>\n

By Alex Morales<\/a> and Louise Downing<\/a><\/p>\n

Fuels made from sources as diverse as plant waste, chicken fat, and old french-fry oil have been successfully used in diesel cars and trucks around the world. Soon, they may become a regular part of the fuel mix for U.S. fighter jets, tanks, and ships. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines have ambitious plans to wean themselves from oil and gas and trim the $14.5\u00a0billion they pay for fuel every year. \u201cReliance on fossil fuels is simply too much of a vulnerability for a military organization to have,\u201d says U.S. Navy Secretary Raymond Mabus.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Air Force is on track to certify its 40-plus aircraft models to burn fuels derived from waste oils and plants by 2013. \u201cIf the fuel is available, whether it\u2019s in Afghanistan or it\u2019s in Kentucky, we want to be able to use it,\u201d says Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary Kevin Geiss. The Navy and Marines aim to shift half their energy use from oil, gas, and coal by 2020. And the Army expects to get a quarter of its energy from renewable sources by 2025.<\/p>\n

Producers of biofuels believe interest from the military will boost their industry by creating a reliable pool of buyers. That\u2019s what\u2019s needed to help drive prices for biofuels from their current $10 per gallon to the $3 to $4 needed to become commercially viable, says James Rekoske, vice-president of renewable energy at UOP, a subsidiary of Honeywell International (HON<\/a>) that has developed biofuels for jets. With steady demand, he says, more companies will be willing to invest the $300\u00a0million-plus required to build refineries. \u201cYou can\u2019t take a 10-year contract from an American airline to the bank and get the financing that you need,\u201d says Rekoske, whose company expects to deliver about 800,000 gallons of jet biofuel from 2009 to 2012 for military tests. \u201cYou can if you have a 10-year contract from the U.S. Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Barack Obama in August announced that the Navy and other government agencies would plow $510\u00a0million into the commercial development of biofuels by 2014. The Navy expects to ramp up its biofuel use to 3\u00a0million gallons in 2016 from 900,000 gallons next year. \u201cThe U.S. military is by far the largest user [of fuel] in the country, so we can create a market for it,\u201d Mabus says.<\/p>\n

The military\u2019s drive to reduce dependence on fossil fuels goes beyond transport. The armed forces are developing wind and solar farms to power U.S. bases and is looking for a way to use renewable sources of energy in combat zones such as Afghanistan, where a study last year showed that one Marine is killed or wounded for every 50 fuel and water convoys. Under a 2005 law, federal agencies must obtain at least 5\u00a0percent of their electricity from renewable sources in 2010-12, and at least 7.5\u00a0percent afterward.<\/p>\n

The Air Force has worked with plane manufacturers Boeing (BA<\/a>) and Lockheed Martin (LMT<\/a>) and engine makers Rolls-Royce Holdings, General Electric (GE<\/a>), and Pratt & Whitney in testing the biofuels, which don\u2019t require any modifications to existing equipment. The fuels used were made by UOP, Sustainable Oils, and Dynamic Fuels, a venture by chicken producer Tyson Foods (TSN<\/a>) and Syntroleum (SYNM<\/a>), an alternative fuel maker in Tulsa. The results of the military tests have been shared with commercial airlines, many of which have carried out their own trials.<\/p>\n

Major Aaron Jelinek, the lead solo pilot in the Air Force\u2019s Thunderbirds flight demonstration team, in May flew an F16 fighter jet powered by a fuel made from camelina, an oil-bearing plant that\u2019s drought- and freeze-resistant. Flying over Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Jelinek performed loops, rolls, and other aerobatic maneuvers with no problems. \u201cIt was a normal demonstration,\u201d Jelinek says, \u201cdoing the exact same maneuvers and the exact same show sequence as any other day.\u201d<\/p>\n

By 2016 the Air Force wants to be able to get half its fuel from alternative sources, equivalent to 400\u00a0million gallons of biofuels or other combustibles. \u201cYou can\u2019t tell the difference,\u201d says Jeff Braun, director of the Alternative Fuels Certification Office. \u201cWhether you\u2019re burning a camelina blend, a tallow blend, or another fuel that\u2019s made up of a bunch of waste greases.\u201d<\/p>\n
