Biofuel Usage in the Armed Forces, 2019 - Companies, Economic Impact & Benefits - ResearchAndMarkets.com
The "Biofuel
Usage in the Armed Forces 2019" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.
This report is a complete analysis of how the armed forces have shifted
focus from petroleum to biofuels. Case studies illustrate how the use of
biofuels is benefitting the armed forces. Be it the army or the navy,
biofuels have become the new buzz word in the U.S. armed forces. An
analysis of the leading industry players completes this analysis on
Biofuel Usage in the Armed Forces.
Although biofuels are mainly used to replace or supplement the
traditional petroleum-based transportation fuels, they can also be
deployed to generate heat and electricity. Being an alternative to
fossils, biofuels can be applied to existing vehicles with little or no
engine modification. Although they release CO2 when burned in internal
combustion engines, they differ from fossil fuels partly because their
use reduces the net emission of carbon dioxide and other gases
associated with global climate change and partly because they are
biodegradable.
Biofuels have had a long history of use in the transport sector. This
began in the 1970s and early 1980s when a substantial increase in
biofuels production and use in many countries resulted from high oil
prices. But biofuels became less competitive vis-a-vis fossil fuels
after the collapse of oil prices in the mid-1980s, and global interest
in biofuels for transport waned considerably in the 1990s and the first
years of the 21st century.
The recent sustained increase in international oil prices has once again
highlighted the potential for biofuels to contribute to transport fuel
demand, particularly in countries that import the bulk of fossil fuel
supplies. Global concerns about the effects of fossil fuel use on the
environment, as well as recognition of the benefits of energy supply
diversification also support increasing biofuels production and use.
With the recent focus on shortage of fuels in the near future and the
rising cost of petroleum, the U.S. armed forces have shifted focus on
biofuels. Biofuels are being used to fuel jets, navy ships, and many
other modes of transportation for the armed forces.
