MALMSTROM AFB, MONTANA COAL-TO-LIQUID EUL
INTRODUCTION
The Air Force is exploring the possibility of leasing underutilized property at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. for the construction of a Coal-to-Liquid (CTL) fuel plant to support national energy goals.
The Air Force has made energy conservation and efficiency a top priority. In response to President Bush's challenge to wean the nation off foreign energy supplies, we created an energy vision: To Make Energy a Consideration in Everything We Do. From that vision, we have adopted a three-part energy strategy of increasing supply, reducing demand, and changing the Air Force culture on how we think about energy.
The Air Force uses 10% of the nation's aviation fuel and is the largest user of energy in the federal government. To reduce demand on foreign oil and increase domestic supply, the Air Force is committed to certify our fleet on synthetic jet fuel by 2011. By 2016, we will purchase 50% of our domestic aviation fuel needs via a synthetic fuel blend manufactured in plants that produce a fuel that is greener than currently available products. This synthetic fuel will be manufactured at facilities similar to the CTL fuel plant proposed for Malmstrom AFB.
