DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY Next Steps for Military Marine & Aviation Biofuels Chris Tindal Director for Operational Energy Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy
2
HEFA and F-T SPK have been added to: – JP-5, JP-8, and F-76 DON follows ASTM As pathways are added, it will increase the sources of cost-competitive, operational quantities of alternative fuels Biofuels Added to MILSPECS
3
Plans for Pathway Adoption JP-5 Alcohol To Jet Lab testing 95% Complete Component/ Engine Testing In Process Flight Tests Planned Summer 2014 Direct Sugar To Hydrocarbon Lab testing 90% complete Similarity analysis on-going to determine component/engine req’ts Hydroprocessed Depolymerized Cellulosic Lab testing 70% complete F414 combustor test planned 2014 Component/Engine testing planned 2015 Catalytic Hydrothermolysis Lab testing 60% complete Component/Engine testing planned 2015 F-76 Direct Sugar To Hydrocarbon Laboratory testing 95% Complete Component /Engine Testing in Process Platform trials planned 2014/15 Hydroprocessed Depolymerized Cellulosic Laboratory Testing 90% Complete Component/Engine Testing in process Platform trials planned 2015 Catalytic Hydrothermolysis Lab testing 60% complete Component/Engine testing planned 2015 3

JP-8 fuel will begin to be replaced by Jet A by FY15 – Additives will be required (CI/LI, FSII, and Static Dissipater) – Realization of some cost benefits – Ability (necessity) to follow commercial markets / ASTM JP-5 will continue to be the mandatory fuel for sea- going use (60°C flashpoint is non-negotiable) JET A for land-based use
5
Farm to Fleet Biofuels Initiative 10% blend target, 1 year contracts – 10% ≈ 43 + 37 MM gal (neat) for each solicitation (≈ 80 MM total) – JP-5 jet fuel and F-76 diesel fuel marine – HEFA and FT SPK CCC Eligibility – Feedstocks must be on USDA approved feedstock list to receive CCC funds GHG emissions – EISA 526 dictates same or better GHG emissions Price: Must be cost competitive Solicitations pending (summer 2014 – winter 2015) Deliveries scheduled to begin: – April 2015 with the Inland/East/Gulf Coast region – October 2015 for Rocky Mountain/ West Coast region – These two solicitations cover all 50 states
6
Puerto Rico Guantanamo Bay Bermuda Panama Canal Zone Inland/East/Gulf Coast: Total JP-5 and F-76 volume – 430 MM gal Rocky Mountain/West Coast Total JP-5 and F-76 volume – 370 MM gal Wake Island Kwajalein

Great Green Fleet 2016 Year-long event throughout CY 2016 Highlight deploying ships with 3+ energy conservation measures (ECMs) or alternative energy for propulsion, deploying aircraft with 2+ ECMs or alternative energy propulsion Ushers in the “New Normal” Maximize likeness to Great White Fleet, but no dedicated group or itinerary for 2016 Need international biofuel acquisitions
9
Fulfilling SECNAV’s 2020 Goals Increase Alternative Energy Use Department of the Navy (DON)-wide: By 2020, 50 percent of total DON energy consumption will come from alternative sources. This represents 336 million gallons of biofuels (neat) by 2020 when nuclear power is counted into total energy consumption 9
