Military Energy and Fuels — R&D for Affordable Future Operations

 

The rising cost of military fuels, coupled with the potential instability of foreign supplier markets, is driving DoD to mandate better efficiencies in fuel use and to develop alternatives for traditional fossil fuels. In FY2005 alone, the Air Force bill for jet fuel was almost $5 billion; and since then, the price per barrel of oil has risen dramatically.

This outstanding conference brings together the major organizations and key experts who are charged with leading the way for OSD and the Services in getting this critical cost burden under control. The solution will be complex. Much will depend on making future systems, platforms and weapons more fuel efficient. However, DoD is also banking on US technological ingenuity to provide the next generation of fuel solutions. How can your organization get involved?

What are the latest OSD and Service initiatives in energy management? In alternative fuels R&D? What is the status and forecast for supplementing JP-8 fuels with hybrids? How is coal-to-liquid technology evolving? How will the DOE’s Hydrogen Fuels R&D Program shape future power plant capabilities? What roles will fuel cells play? What is the potential impact of the DoD fuel needs on the creation of a sustainable alternative fuels industrial base?

These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important event.
