Fleet to Fuels Workshop, 30th January, 2014, Washington DC
U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Navy’s joint “Farm-to-Fleet” venture will now make biofuel blends part of regular, operational fuel purchase and use by the military. This incorporates the acquisition of biofuel blends into regular Department of Defense (DOD) domestic solicitations for jet engine and marine diesel fuels. The Navy will seek to purchase JP-5 and F-76 advanced drop-in biofuels blended from 10 to 50 percent with conventional fuels. Funds from USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) will assist the effort.
An Industry Day is scheduled for January 30, 2014 in Washington, DC, which is immediately following the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) General Meeting that is on January 28-29, 2014.
This session is neither intended to offer government insight, nor to answer direct questions and receive comments on bulk fuel purchases held by DLA Energy. Questions related to DLA Energy bulk fuel contracting cannot be answered at this venue.
There is no cost and the meeting will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2014, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at USDA Jefferson Auditorium, USDA South Building, 14th and Independence, Washington, DC 20250.
