Abstract: . . .  power strategy. Some of these fuels— ethanol and methanol—are in use today. We are working with industry and academia to develop additional synthetic fuels, such as fuel made from liquefied coal. Synthetic fuels from bio-mass sources, including agricul- tural and wood products, will provide additional renewable availability. The Air Force has long been the leader withinin DoD in energy conservation. We will continue to aggressively integrate advanced energy technologies into the day-to-day operations at our installations. Not only because it makes good economic sense, but because it helps maintain mission readiness while meeting quality-of-life requirements to support our Airmen.
