Biofuels for National Security: Air Force and Navy Progress on Renewable Jet Fuels

YOU CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THIS EVENT (INCLUDING THE PODCAST) HERE

The American Security Project (ASP) cordially invites you to a lunchtime roundtable discussion on Biofuels for National Security: Air Force and Navy Progress to Renewable Jet Fuels on Thursday, March 1 at 12:00.

Air operations for the Navy and Air Force currently depend on a single energy source: petroleum. That poses economic and strategic drawbacks as oil prices can spike and our military is forced to protect the sources of the very oil it needs to fly. Both the Air Force and Navy are currently engaged in significant energy security programs to diversify their energy sources through the development of new biofuels that can act as ‘drop-in’ replacements for jet fuel.

Speakers will include:

Commander James Goudreau, Director, Navy Energy Coordination Office

 Carol Ann Beda, Director of Energy Policy, Office of Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy

The round table will be chaired by:

Andrew Holland

 Senior Fellow for Energy and Climate, American Security Project

The briefings and comments in this event will be used inform a forthcoming ASP White Paper focusing on the national security promise of advanced biofuels.

We anticipate a frank and open discussion between the audience and our speakers.

 We hope you can join us.

The briefing will take place on Tuesday, March 1 at 12:00 pm at ASP’s office, 1100 New York Ave., Suite 710W

The briefing will begin promptly at 12:00pm. Please arrive by 11:45am for registration.

 Sandwiches will be served
