  3. Evolving Energy Demands Worldwide Liquid Fuel Consumption** (2007 & 2035) Worldwide Total Energy Demand* (2005-2035) Million Barrels per Day (ROW) India Rest of World Quadrillion BTU 30% ‘Chindia’ and ROW are becoming the global energy driver China 18% EU US * Source: EIA International Energy Outlook 2010 ** Source: EIA, International Energy Statistics database (as of November 2009), web site www.eia.gov/emeu/international. 2035: EIA, World Energy Projection System Plus (2010) 3

  4. Navy Energy Program • Drivers • Enhance combat capability • Reduce total ownership cost • Ensure energy security • Strategies • Culture & behavior change • Retooling the existing fleet • Energy efficiency in acquisition • Diversifying energy sources • “We need to be efficient with the energy that we have and that we need to find alternative fuels. • We are trying to use our fuel judiciously.” • — Admiral Jonathan Greenert, CNO

  5. Navy Energy Goals SECNAV Targets CNO Targets Increased Alternatives Afloat 2020 50% of total DON energy consumption from alternative sources Reduce Consumption Afloat 2020 Navy will increase efficiency and reduce consumption afloat by 15% Increased Alternatives Ashore 2020 At least 50% of shore-based energy from alternative sources; 50% of installations net-zero Reduce Consumption Ashore 2020 Navy will increase efficiency and reduce consumption ashore by 50% Sail the “Great Green Fleet” 2012/2016 Green Strike Group: local operations/sail Reduce Non-Tactical Vehicle Petroleum Use 2015 Reduce petroleum use in commercial vehicle fleet by 50% Protect Critical Infrastructure 2020 Navy’s critical infrastructure will have reliable backup/redundant power systems where viable Energy Efficiency Acquisition Evaluation of energy factors mandatory when awarding systems/buildings contracts

  6. Alternative Fuels Strategy • Primary Assumption: • Alternative fuel must be a drop-in replacement, invisible to the operator • Meets fuel performance requirements • Can be mixed or alternated with petroleum fuel • Requires NO change to aircraft or ship • Requires NO change to infrastructure Challenge: Existing Systems Not Changing the Fuel : Just its Source

  7. Test Fuels • Hydroprocessed Renewable Jet (HRJ) & Diesel (HRD) • Derived from renewable sources • Camelina and Algae based fuels used for Navy’s testing • Refined • Feedstocks are hydrotreated and hydrocracked • Products are feedstock agnostic • Blended • 50/50 blends meet all performance requirements of JP-5 & F-76 specs Changed the source, not the fuel

  8. Phase 1: • Chemical And Physical Property Similarity • Specification • Fit For Purpose • Phase 2: • Performance Similarity • Materials • Components • Propulsion/Fuel Systems • Distribution Systems • Phase 3: • Operational Similarity • Weapon System Trials • Phase 4: • Long Term Operability • Field Trials

  9. The Green Hornet • F/A-18E/F Super Hornet • U.S. Navy’s premier fighter aircraft • Operates at a wide range of airspeeds and altitudes • Top Fuel Burner in The Fleet • Component Testing • Auxiliary Power Unit Atomizer, Combustor, Engine Fuel Ctrl. • Engine Testing • GE F414 Turbojet, GE F404 Turbojet, Honeywell 36-200 APU • Flight Testing • Completed 16 flight tests for 17+ hours • First-ever supersonic flight powered by a renewable jet fuel • Extended Duration Flight Test in progress No impacts to performance or operability

  10. Green Hornet Flight TestEarth Day 2010

  11. Flight Testing MV-22B Osprey T-45A Goshawk MH-60S Seahawk • Tilt-rotor, multi-purpose • USAF/USN Coordinated Test • Aircraft carrier-capable trainer • Extended service evaluation • Algae HRJ5 blend testing EA-6B Prowler AV-8B Harrier MQ-8B Fire Scout • Electronic Warfare • Performance Hover Maneuvers • Unmanned Flight No Operational Issues Noticed

  12. Blue Angels • HRJ5 Flight Demonstration High performance maneuvers Tight formations and close tolerances No changes to performance

  13. Blue Angel BiofuelFlight Sept 2011

  14. HRD76 Platform Trials LCAC RCB-X YP Boat 7M RHIB • Gas Turbines (Vericor) • Extended Duration Trial • Research Asset • Cummins QSB Engine Self Defense Test Ship (ex DD Paul F. Foster) Commercial Partnerships (MARAD and MAERSK) • Extended Duration Trial • Varying Blend Ratios (up to 100% Biofuel) • Gas Turbines (RR and GE) All Trials Showed No Impact to Hardware or Performance

  15. FFG Operational Evaluation • FFG 54 (USS FORD) • Operational FFG homeported in Everett, Washington • Propulsion: 2 GE LM2500 • Lifted 25,000 gallons of HRD76 in February 2012 • Conducted routine operations on biofuel blend • Ship’s normal procedures were followed: • Fuel onload • Tank readings • Filtration • Sampling & Testing • Propulsion • Ship’s crew noticed no differences operating on the biofuel blend

  16. 2012 Green Fleet Demo • RIMPAC – July 2012 (18 Countries Participating) • Refueling-at-Sea • Flight Operations • Surface Combatant Operations • Fuel Source: 90% Waste Oil/10% Algae • 700,000 Gallons F-76 50/50 Blend • Two Destroyers • One Cruiser • 200,000 Gallons JP-5 50/50 BlendHRJ5 • One Carrier (flight ops only)

  17. Diversifying our Energy Resources “As we make our next change – as we lead again in changing the way we power our ships and our aircraft, the naysayers who say it’s too expensive, the technology is just not there – they are going to be proven wrong again because every time we’ve changed we’ve made us a better Navy.” — Mr. Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy
