O2Diesel Corporation (fka OTODQ)

[eschwinn]

This i recently found from a july issued USAF release summarizing their efforts thru current date. It remarks on minot AF base testing Cold weather properties on O2Diesel. In summary they state they did not meet their goals of 10% biofuels because of a decrease in use of B20. The reduction is because of converting from Low Sulfur Diesel to Ultra Low. So maybe their is still hope. Also the article on LS9 is an algae based fuel that has a 2013 commercialization date. So I still have hope. We need the DOD to contract with O2Diesel before it's too late.

Summary and Conclusions
In FY07, the USAF exceeded its EPAct AFV acquisition requirements and expects to exceed them again in
FY08 and FY09. The Air Force is working diligently in its efforts towards meeting EPA, DOE and DoD
regulations and mandates. Since 11 Sep 01 to the present the USAF operations tempo is continually
increasing making it more and more difficult to meet these mandates. Operations to support contingencies in
Iraq and Afghanistan and other global commitments have a direct effort on our efforts to meet EPAct and
E.O. mandates. Despite this difficult era, the Air Force remained committed to reducing our fossil fuel
consumption. Unfortunately, despite our aggressive AFV acquisitions and increased use of E85, we did not
achieve the required 10% increase in use of alternative fuels, largely due to the reduced consumption of B20.
Conversion from low sulfur diesel fuel to ultra low sulfur diesel fuel was the main reason for our decreased
B20 consumption. We are relying heavily on the Air Force Petroleum Office (AFPET) to continue its efforts
in obtaining alternative fuel infrastructure through DESC and we further expect they will work diligently at
improving the availability of quality alternative fuels at locations that already have alternative fuel
infrastructure in place. In any case, the current Global War on Terror and sustained security threat levels at
stateside Air Force bases continue to complicate our efforts towards moving more aggressively in meeting
EPAct and E.O. mandates. Complete USAF Report:
