U.S. Air Force Energy Program

Abstract

AIR FORCE ENERGY GOALS. Aviation Goals: Reduce aviation fuel consumption by 10% from 2006 baseline; Be prepared to acquire 50% of domestic aviation fuel requirements via an alternative fuel blend by 2016. Installation Energy: Reduce energy intensity by 3% annually; Increase renewable energy use to reach 25% by 2025. Motor Vehicles: Reduce fuel use by 2% annually; Increase alternative fuel use by 10% annually. HOW WE ARE DOING. Aviation Goals: Reduced aviation fuel consumption 2% from FY06-FY10; On track to certify fleet on synthetic fuel blend by early 2011. Installation Energy: Reduced installation energy intensity nearly 15% since FY03; Renewable energy represented 6.4% of total electric power consumption in FY10. Ground Vehicles: Reduced petroleum consumption by 1.1M gallons (4.7%) since FY08; Increased alternative fuel consumption by over 400,000 gallons (31.0%) since FY08; Maintained over 7,000 flex fuel and hybrid vehicles; Downsized vehicles where possible to more efficient models.
