2 Section 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Energy and National Security This report focuses on the mandates for and development of renewable energy (RE) technologies within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the military arena in general, with a concentration on mature electricity generating technologies which will make up the majority of applications in the next 12 years. In addition, Pike Research discusses energy conservation actions, such as the movement toward Net-Zero bases, mobile power technologies, microgrids, biofuel and alternative fuel development and deployment, and other cleantech applications for the U.S. military currently underway. The various composite branches of the U.S. DOD combine to form the single largest consumer of energy in the world more than any other public or private entity, surpassing the consumption totals of more than 100 nations. Energy is the lifeblood of the U.S. military and of the supporting governmental infrastructure that facilitates and controls it. The DOD reportedly consumes 3.8 billion kilowatts hours (kwh) of electricity and 120 million barrels of oil per year. This translates to total primary energy consumption of over 1,100 trillion British thermal units (Btu) annually and a per capita consumption, including non-military DOD personnel, of 524 trillion Btu. The DOD currently spends approximately $20 billion per year directly on energy: 75% for fuel and 25% for facilities and infrastructure. The advancement of clean technologies into the mainstream of DOD spending is driven by legislation, national and international policy, departmental strategic goals and planning, technology cost reductions, and innovative financing and procurement tools. Officially, the annual DOD budget is about $800 billion, but Pike Research estimates the actual figure is much higher. A portion of total expenses includes the procurement of technology, vehicles, aircraft, vessels equipment, etc. that have renewable energy or cleantech components and at least $75 billion in research and development (R&D). As such, the DOD is now one of the most important drivers of cleantech markets in the United States. 1.2 Current Major Renewable Energy Initiatives Changes in energy policy have provided countless opportunities throughout all operations of the military and the DOD, with many examples of renewable energy projects under the DOD umbrella. Some of the most significant recent initiatives include:» Targets of 1 GW of renewable energy installed capacity each for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, by 2025» 25% of all energy produced or procured from renewable energy sources by 2025» 30% reduction in energy intensity on a BTU per square foot basis 1
3 » Development of the Navy s Great Green Fleet Strike Group powered by biofuel, nuclear power, synthetic fuels, and hybrid propulsion systems» Experimentation and deployment of microgrid technologies at both U.S. facilities and FOBs» Increased focus on the tools required by the modern warfighter to operate and communicate more effectively in combat zones and on patrol Most of these initiatives have gained considerable momentum and many of the targets will be achieved. The power purchase agreement (PPA) and enhanced use lease (EUL) models enable military installations to pay the same amount or less for renewable sources of electricity as they do for retail power from the grid on day one. Enabling technology such as microgrids and smart meters will enable the integration of renewables alongside diesel generators at Forward Operating Basis as well as at bases and facilities connected to the national electric grid. Chart 1.1 Total DOD Direct Annual Expenditures by Market Application: ($ Millions) $2,000 $1,800 $1,600 $1,400 $1,200 $1,000 $800 $600 $400 $200 $- Conservation Measures Smart Meters Microgrids (Not including generation assets) Renewable Electricity Purchases (Source: Pike Research) Industry and government alike realize that for U.S. renewable electricity systems and transportation fuel, cost is the most important factor. In the case of advanced biofuels, advocates and industry participants see the military as the long-term customer that could bolster further investment required to drive down costs of domestic advanced biofuels that are currently uneconomic. However, an election year and polarized politics in the short-term threaten the support required from Congress to carry out the military s mission to reduce dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security as currently planned. 2
4 1.3 Large-scale Renewable Energy Installations at DOD Facilities The future of DOD renewable energy installations will be in the form of large-scale RE installations, defined as 1 MW capacity or more, represent the largest current opportunity for RE applications. The Army s Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF), which is directing the implementation strategy for the Army has screened 180 Army and National Guard sites and has identified potential for 20 different renewable energy installations across 20 installations totaling 683 MW. Technology cost reductions and the use of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) and Enhanced Used Lease (EUL) as contracting vehicles will enable mature technologies such as solar PV, biomass, wind, and geothermal power to be rapidly and cost-effectively deployed at scale during the next 12 years. This report quantifies the deployment capacity and DOD expenditures of each technology across the different branches of the U.S. military through Tactical Energy Consumption and Renewable Energy for Mobility Liquid petroleum-based fuel represents approximately three-quarters of total DOD annual energy consumption and spending. Based on trends over the last decade, this approaches $20 billion annually. The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) has delivered between 29 million barrels and 33 million barrels of petroleum products to the DOD for the last 5 years. U.S. domestic oil production peaked in the early 1970s and the United States has since become the largest importer of oil in the world. As the largest consumer of oil in the country, the military is currently completely dependent on foreign oil. Daily military operations around the planet depend on an enormous array of fuel-consuming equipment, including: approximately 11,000 aircraft and helicopters (as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), missiles, etc.), more than 200 combat and support Navy vessels (and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs)), 200,000 tactical vehicles (tanks, trucks, and light armored vehicles), and over 190,000 non-combat vehicles, including trucks, cars, buses, etc. Pike Research estimates that the current horse race to find a technology and commercially viable approach to the production of fuels and JP-8 in particular, from renewable sources has only started. It is likely that multiple approaches photosynthetic, heterotrophic, cellulosic, fermentation, etc. will contribute to the ultimate solution. 1.5 DOD and U.S. Cleantech Market at Transition Point It is worth noting that a similar situation with respect to transitioning energy sources for the military occurred 100 years ago. In 1910, the British and American Navies relied primarily on coal. The then-powerful British Navy saw strategic importance in converting its fleet to oilpowered engines. Thus, it provided capital resources to create a new exploration, refining, and distribution endeavor called Anglo-Persian Oil Company known today as BP. Similarly, Pike Research sees the DOD as one of the most important drivers for cleantech markets and innovation today with the potential to directly impact non-military sectors in the future, much the way fossil fuel industries did in the 20 th century. 3
