As we enter the 21st century, the Department of Defense (DOD) remains critically dependent on oil from petroleum for operational energy and for all force projection. Although this has worked well historically, with DOD simply being one of the major consumers of commercial energy sources, there are concerns that this picture may not continue throughout the 21st century. In response to concerns about U.S. and global depletion of cheap petroleum resources and the particular impact of this on future DOD energy resource needs, a series of workshops were held during 2002 and 2003 at National Defense University. These workshops were specifically aimed at the policy, geopolitics, economics, and technological aspects of future energy supply and demands, attempting to answer questions about the possible need for DOD engagement with industry and with the Department of Energy (DOE) on future energy resource issues. Particular issues addressed in the workshops and in this report include: the role of DOD in current and near future development by the oil and gas industry; the role of DOD in national and international future energy programs; how estimates of future availability and cost of hydrocarbon fuels will impact DOD; the need for a DOD long term strategy and policy regarding potential energy shortages; and the effects of environmental constraints on DOD energy options. The first workshop concluded that the major DOD requirement for energy in the next 50 years would remain liquid hydrocarbons, but that there was grave disagreement as to whether this requirement could continue to be met as it has in the past. This led to the further conclusion that DOD would be very wise to begin to more closely monitor this situation and take appropriate actions as necessary. The remaining three workshops in the series focused on potential future energy replacements for oil with an emphasis on DOD needs.

The United States has a national security problem that involves energy security, and the Department of Defense "DOD" has a unique interest in this problem. The United States imports 26 percent of its total energy supply and 56 percent of its oil. The DOD is the largest single consumer of energy in the United States, and energy is the key enabler of United States "US" military combat power. Huge energy consumption, increased competition for limited energy supplies, ever-increasing energy costs, and no comprehensive energy strategy or oversight of energy issues in the DOD have created vulnerabilities. These include potential fuel and electricity supply disruptions and foreign policy and economic vulnerability. The DOD needs a comprehensive energy strategy and an organizational structure to implement a strategy to improve national security by decreasing US dependence on foreign oil, ensure access to critical energy requirements maintain or improve combat capability, promote research for future energy security, be fiscally responsible to the American taxpayer, and protect the environment. This strategy can be implemented through leadership and culture change, innovation and process efficiencies, reduced demand, and increased/diversified energy sources.

National security relies heavily on the ready availability of energy resources in the types, quantities, and locations the military demands. While U.S. energy needs are currently met, the shrinking gap between global supply and demand draws the world closer to a tipping point at which human behavior is less predictable, competition overwhelms social and geopolitical normalizing forces, and conflict becomes more likely and more pronounced. Given concerns about future resource availability, DoD would be well served by devising and implementing a sustainable, resilient energy strategy that addresses current projections and adapts to evolving conditions.

Examines DoD¿s strategy to achieve assured energy supplies. Identifies: opportunities to reduce fuel demand by forces and assess the effects on cost, operations and force structure; identify opportunities to deploy renewable and alternative energy sources for facilities and forces; identify institutional barriers to making the transitions recommended; identify and recommend programs to reduce facility energy use; and identify the benefits from DoD deployment of new energy technologies. There are 2 challenges: battlespace fuel demand compromises our operational capability and can jeopardize mission success; and critical missions at military installations are vulnerable to loss from commercial power outage and inadequate backup power supplies.

The central characteristic of the evolution of the combat soldier in recent years is an increasingly sophisticated array of sensing, communications, and related electronics for use in battlefield situations. The most critical factor for maintaining this evolution will be the development of power supply systems capable of operating those electronics effectively for missions up to 72 hours long. To address the challenge, it is important that new approaches be sought on how to integrate and power these electronics. To assist in addressing this problem, the Army requested the National Research Council to review the state of the art and to recommend technologies that will support the rapid development of effective power systems for the future warrior. This report presents the results of that review. It provides an assessment of various technology options for different power level requirements, power system design, and soldier energy sinks. The report also describes future design concepts, focusing on low-power systems. Recommendations for technology development and system design are presented.

The Office of the Assistant Sec. of Defense for Operational Energy was created in 2010 to strengthen the energy security of U.S. military operations. The mission of the office is to help the military services and combatant commands improve military capabilities, cut costs, and lower operational and strategic risk through better energy accounting, planning, management, and innovation. Energy security is important to national security. The cost of America's national energy consumption, particularly of oil, is too high, both in the billions of dollars the Nation sends overseas and in the geostratic consequences. This Operational Energy Strategy will guide the DOD in how to better use energy resources to support its strategic goals and the Nation's energy goals, while allowing DOD to lower the risks to warfighters, shift resources to other warfighting priorities, and same money for American taxpayers.

Energy security is a fundamental requirement for national security, and global energy competition threatens to make Department of Defense (DoD) missions increasingly vulnerable to the whims of energy suppliers. DoD's approach to energy security must accommodate a highly uncertain outlook for energy resource availability. Although U.S. energy security needs are currently met, the shrinking gap between global supply and demand draws the world closer to a point at which competition disrupts social and geopolitical normalizing forces, and conflict becomes likely. While DoD expresses concern over trends that are threatening energy security, Defense planners still operate as if adequate energy supplies will continue to be available without interruption into the extended future. What limited energy-related planning that is currently done addresses only the symptoms of a systemic over-reliance on very few energy resources. This analysis offers key insights into what a shifting energy security environment is, and the paper provides a novel theoretical framework for how the United States can best respond to this ever changing energy security environment.

Energy is a critical enabling component of military operations and demand for it will continue to increase over time. In particular, energy usage on the battlefield, at the tip of the spear, will likely increase significantly over the next few decades. Energy delivery and management is a problem and will continue to be a challenge. We recommend a number of ways that this can be significantly improved. Measures to increase the energy performance (a term which includes consideration of energy efficiency) in military platforms and base power systems can make a significant contribution to reducing demand for fuel for forward operating bases (FOBs), remote operating bases (ROBs), and expeditionary forces; however, the high and growing energy needs of current and future military operations are likely to outpace improvements to energy efficiency and management, such that the defense sector is likely to be characterized by higher and higher energy demands. Energy intensive capabilities are under development for which there is no parallel development for power sources. We are at a pivot point. Longer term energy solutions should support sustainment of technical superiority. It is not just about basing, but warfighting capability enabled by the assured supply of energy. We have identified technologies with potential to meet this challenge of providing reliable, abundant, and continuous energy. Alternative energy technologies such as wind, tidal, solar and similar intermittent energy sources are unlikely to consistently meet current or future energy demands for FOBs, ROBs, and expeditionary forces, apart from very limited and highly specialized applications. The intermittent character of many alternative energy sources requires energy storage technology or redundant power supplies, and emerging technologies for improved energy storage do not appear able to keep pace with the growth of the DoD's energy needs.

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources - bioenergy, solar, geothermal, hydropower, ocean and wind energy - as well as their integration into present and future energy systems. It considers the environmental and social consequences associated with the deployment of these technologies and presents strategies to overcome technical as well as non-technical obstacles to their application and diffusion. SRREN brings a broad spectrum of technology-specific experts together with scientists studying energy systems as a whole. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, it presents an impartial assessment of the current state of knowledge: it is policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. SRREN is an invaluable assessment of the potential role of renewable energy for the mitigation of climate change for policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.
