Facilities Restoration & Modernization (Logistics)

Abstract

Alternative energy initiatives validate the operational use of alternative energy technologies for use at Air Force installations. The effort includes evaluating coal to liquid technology, wind, solar, hybrid wind diesel power production and geo-thermal ground source heat pumps. Federal law requires all federal agencies to increase the use of renewable. Annual goals for electricity generated with renewable increase every year beginning with FY07 with a final goal of 25% in 2025. This initiative provides alternative sources for electric power that decreases US dependence of foreign oil.
