Background to the Vision - Real Demands
Technology Development
• Investment in renewable energy technologies Transactions $100 Billion estimated in 2006, (UN, New Energy Finance) Governments imposing regulations and incentives to utilise renewable energy
Climate Change Impact
• CO2 emissions forecast to increase by 55% by 2030 • Climate Change is causing changes in rainfall patterns, sea levels are rising, glaciers are retreating, arctic sea-ice is thinning and extreme weather is increasing
....and Shared Needs Across Sectors
Regulatory & CSR Targets Cost Security of Supply
Driving New Energy Solutions Energy Demand Increasing
• Energy demand predicted to increase more than 50% by 2030 and may triple by 2050 • Over 70% of this growth is from developing countries – shifting economic power to the East • Peak Oil. No increase in supply.
Causing prices of traditional energy sources to rise
Security of Supply Concerns
• Can the nation get enough fuel for the forces’ needs?
• Long-term tightening of supply among OPEC countries • EIA predicts that Fossil fuels running out: oil – 35 yrs? natural Gas - 60 yrs? & coal - 230yrs? Peak Oil?
• Is the military supply chain secure from enemy attack?
Civil Cost implications
There is commonality of needs in the military and civil sectors – however priorities will shift depending on objectives and specific situations

Small Scale Renewables Package Results
Fuel saving
Reduction to 60% of current diesel demand in-theatre at full implementation (57% of baseline demand at main bases,17% at FOBs)
Reduced logistic effort
To deliver this reduced volume, you would save: • 518 jingly tanker journeys/year by Supreme • 243 close support tanker journeys/year on CLPs (assuming current storage capacity remains at FOBs but tankers are sent only on threshold)
Cost Saving
Fully Burdened Cost Saving ~ £10m per year (current fully burdened spend on Diesel in theatre = £60.2m) Copyright 2009 © BAE SYSTEMS All rights reserved 18
The Study requirement - satisfied
• Identified options for fuel savings in support of the Afghanistan Theatre.
• Conducted initial assessment of viability and benefits of options • Detailed assessment of impact on the fully burdened cost of energy • Recommendations made regarding technologies • that could be deployed forthwith • that could be Technology Demonstrators • that could be subject to further research; and • areas for further analysis.

Major Assumptions
• • • • The figures consider only the military operated facilities in theatre at the time data were collected. These were the Main Operating Bases (MOBs): Bastion, Gereshk, Lashkagar and Kandahar Airfield; and the Forward Operating Bases (FOBs): Fire Base Dwyer, Delhi, Edinburgh, Inkerman, Now Zad, Robinson, and Sangin. As the operation has developed the size, location and names of the bases have changed. We have assumed that given no intervention aimed at saving energy, the annual energy demands for the lifetime of the operation will remain at 2008 levels. We have assumed that this current situation persists through the life of the Operation; that is the commitment and military strategy remain unchanged, so that energy demands remain constant. Further, we have assumed that the cost of fuel remains constant. We have assumed that the operation will last until at least 2020.
In the analysis of Packages we have assumed that the force protection levels are independent of the quantity of fuel being carried by the Combat Logistic Patrol and so constant. We have assumed that the total cost of the force protection for the CLP is allocated to the fully burdened fuel cost.
We have assumed that military effectiveness is not compromised provided that the bases maintain fuel stockpiles at mandated levels (that is they always have sufficient to cover immediate requirements). 25 Copyright 2009 © BAE SYSTEMS All rights reserved
