Solar, Wind, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydrokinetic Energy, Biofuels and Synfuels, Fuel Cells, Microgrids, Smart Meters, and Energy Efficiency: U.S. Market Analysis and Forecasts
As the largest single consumer of energy in the world, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is one of the most important drivers for the cleantech market today. The DOD has developed a comprehensive strategy to reduce energy consumption, improve battlefield effectiveness, increase energy security, and reduce costs. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps are each implementing detailed plans to achieve ambitious renewable energy and energy efficiency targets that, in most cases, are likely to be achieved by 2025, including 3 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power generation at military facilities, primarily via third-party financing.
Spanning from research and development to base and battlefield deployment, military applications of clean technologies are growing, but there are considerable operational and political challenges that, as in cleantech markets in civilian markets, pose threats to fully realizing these opportunities. Pike Research expects that the expenditures on renewable energy by the Department of Defense will reach $1.8 billion by 2025, growing from $163 million in 2013.
This Pike Research report examines the current status and future direction of renewable energy technology at military bases and other DOD facilities. The near-term and long-term priorities for DOD research and development are examined, along with key directives, primary drivers, and renewable energy programs for each branch of the military. The report also analyzes major military renewable energy programs by technology, including solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, waste-to-energy, hydrokinetic and ocean energy, and fuel cells. Profiles of major defense contractors and other providers of renewable energy technology to the DOD are included as well. The report also provides forecasts of DOD expenditures on renewable energy by application and installed renewable capacity by military branch, through 2025.
Key Questions Addressed:
-What is the current status and direction of advancement of renewable energy technology for the DOD?-What are the expected near-term and long-term trends for DOD development and incorporation of renewable energy and related clean energy technologies?-What are the key DOD energy consumption and renewable energy deployment initiatives for facilities and infrastructure?-How will the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force meet their renewable energy goals?-What will be the annual expenditures for renewable energy purchases for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force?-What are the key renewable energy initiatives to support soldier power and forward operating bases?-Who are the key players that are competing for a share of the tens of billions of dollars available from DOD in the next decade?
Who needs this report?
-Defense contractors-Cleantech technology manufacturers, suppliers, installers, and vendors-Renewable energy project developers-Utility and energy industries-Government agencies and policy makers-Investor community and financial institutions-Technology researchers
