Project Concept
There is no doubt that climate change is one of the top priorities for governments across the world. The effects of a warming planet have been demonstrated clearly by a large body of scientists and there is an increasing awareness of the unsustainable way in which we all use the world’s natural resources, particularly fossil fuels. Combined with fluctuating energy costs and the constantly decreasing availability of UK fossil fuel resources, the military is left particularly vulnerable to its dependency on imported fuel.
The aim of the RUSI alternative energy programme is to highlight the financial and environmental drivers for alternative energy and sustainability in the military. It will assess the challenges of maintaining operational freedom from the current dependency on fuel and will identify potential advantages in operational capability for the future warfighter.
