Foreign oil accounts for about 60 percent of total U.S. consumption, and DoD is the world’s single largest consumer. “Moving the DoD away from reliance on petroleum will ultimately address the long-standing irony of fueling our defense establishment from a system that threatens our nation’s security,” says a recent Brookings Institution report.

The Department of Defense occupies more than 545,000 facilities worth $600 billion, comprising 536 installations on 29.8 million acres around the world. It spent $3.4 billion on facility energy consumption in FY 2007. About 25 percent of DoD’s total energy use comes from installation and base power sources. And the Pentagon has reportedly set an internal goal of getting 25 percent of its energy from renewables by 2013. It’s currently at 9.8 percent.

And for operational forces, it is not just a question of efficiency. It is a safety issue. Fuel delivery and supply line protection require manpower and put more soldiers at risk. About half of logistics tonnage for operations in Iraq, for example, is moving fuel. Fuel consumption at U.S. operating bases in conflict zones has gone from 50 million gallons to 500 million gallons a year over the last five years, and that creates huge operational demands across the tactical spectrum.
 
DoD is making enormous progress in adopting alternative energy and energy efficiency technologies—with solar and geothermal power, power from landfill gases, heating and lighting efficiencies, electric vehicles, new batteries, and so on. But what is the DoD-wide plan, the strategy for achieving its energy reduction goal? And what are the targets along the path to net-zero energy consumption at military bases?

Participants in this webinar will address these questions and will discuss:

• Ideas for energy efficiency in operational forces.
• DoD renewable energy targets for installations.
• Examples of successful and not so successful projects.
• The need for centralized leadership on base energy issues.
• Power Purchase Agreements: Public-private funding for renewable energy projects on DoD lands.
• Generating renewable energy for the grid and generating revenue on DoD bases.
