From a cost perspective, the potential of alternative fuels is of limited, if any value, according to the lead report written by James Bartis, a RAND senior policy researcher. Alternative liquid fuels do not offer DoD a way to appreciably reduce fuel costs. —Bartis 2012.

Building on LCFS policies already adopted in Europe, British Columbia, and California, the researchers looked at potential costs and benefits of reducing the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 10 to 15 percent by 2030. All of this helps achieve LCFS targets in the most cost-effective manner.

If the US military increases its use of alternative jet and naval fuels that can be produced from coal or various renewable resources, including seed oils, waste oils and algae, there will be no direct benefit to the nation’s armed forces, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

This is a revolution, and it’s only just emerging, so we can expect a lot of technological advancements along the way to make desalination even more efficient and cost-effective. It can clean up the oil industry’s frack flowback water and the dirty water produced by oilfields, and it can also desalinate ocean water. per barrel.
