Description
As the US Army continues to increase its focus on detached, portable and unmanned power systems, the need for compact, light-weight and efficient electric generation using logistic fuels has grown significantly.The ability to generate an energy dense logistic fuel substitute from locally available biomass resources is sought in order to reduce the demands of logistic fuel resupply to forward operating military personnel and systems.As logistic fuel resupply convoys are prime targets for attack, in-situ generation of high energy density liquid fuels offers the potential to reduce the need for resupply while simultaneously enhancing military capabilities.A compact device capable of efficiently converting a variety of renewable biomass feedstocks into a storable, high energy density liquid fuel will be developed in the proposed program.
