<P>48The Military Engineer L January-February L 2010 Environment & Energy News (continued) intend to construct a facility with both concentrated solar thermal and photo- voltaic technology. Clark-Acciona will be responsible for developing the proj- ect and for footing the bill for its con- struction—estimated now at roughly $1.5 billion. Neither the government nor the Army will pay for development of the project, but will instead collect rent in-kind for use of the land it leases to the developer. Construction will take place in stages, with suf?cient arrays on line to cover Fort Irwins electrical needs by 2014.

Aviation fuel accounted for approximately 81 percent of total Air Force energy costs. To help reduce these costs, the Air Force is developing and implementing fuels that are better for the environment, are based on renewable resources, reduce dependence on foreign oil and save money. The ?rst of the new fuels is the com- mercial grade Jet A. Demonstrations of Jet A fuel versus JP-8 fuel will occur at Dover Air Force Base (AFB), Del.; Little Rock AFB, Ark.; McChord AFB, Wash.; and Minneapolis-St. Paul Air Reserve Station, Minn. Aircraft at these bases in- clude C-5 Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster III and C-130 Hercules. This straight petro- leum-based fuel, which is cheaper and more common throughout the aviation industry, becomes similar to JP-8 when three different additives are mixed in: a static dissipater; a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity improver; and a fuels sys- tem icing inhibitor. By eliminating the need for a spe- cialty fuel like JP-8 and using the more readily-available Jet A, re?neries and fuel depots will be able to reduce infra- structure costs and save money, which will then be passed along to DOD. Re- moving the additives could save the Air Force up to 4 cents per gallon, with an estimated annual savings of $40 mil- lion. Also, the Air Force has the pos- sibility of reducing the production of hazardous waste by eliminating the fuel system icing inhibitor from bulk fuel tank bottoms. The second type of aviation fuel be- ing testing is a synthetic jet fuel called SPK, which is designed to reduce de- pendency on foreign oil. SPK is derived from coal or natural gas by a 1920s pro- cess known as Fischer Tropsch Synthe- sis. The Air Force is testing a blend of 50 percent JP-8 and 50 percent SPK at Little Rock AFB.
