RCAPT James C. Goudreau

Director 
Navy Energy Coordination Office 
OPNAV N45E

Abstract

The Navy requires tremendous energy to operate its bases, ships, boats, planes and terrestrial vehicles. To reduce future operating costs and reduce greenhouse emissions, the Navy is investigating a wide range of options. These options include renewable energy sources, including wind, solar and biofuels, as well as nuclear energy. In some cases, conservation is the best strategy, noting that substantial energy is required for building climate control. During the seminar, those technologies and initiatives of specific interest to the N45 organization will be discussed.
