Increasing Strategic Sustainability for the DoD
The DoD is making alternative energy a bigger priority than ever before. Conserving energy, lowering costs, reducing reliance on foreign oil, and increasing tactical and strategic security are the goals of new efforts toward “greening” the services. With a new partnership with the DoE and a new Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs, the DoD has gotten serious about taking action.
In time with the DoD’s Energy Awareness Month, IDGA’s 3rd Annual Alternative Energy for Defense Summit will provide the forum for senior-level experts from the DoD, Department of Energy, government agencies, and key industry leaders to discuss the most strategic and cost-efficient alternative energy solutions for defense as well as how to increase energy independence, “green” the military, and more.
DoD sustainability stakeholders, here is your opportunity to:
- Find out how the Services are measuring up to EO 13514 and their way forward
- Understand future requirements and trends for resource efficiency and sustainability
- Discover the latest technology advances in solar, wind, biofuel, waste-to-energy, energy storage, and more
