USDA, Navy Highlight New Partnership to Power Navy Fleet with Biofuels: "The deputy secretary of agriculture and the assistant secretary of the Navy for energy, installations and environment kicked off an energy forum April 6 in Honolulu to look at ways to increase biofuels production and meet the Navy's renewable energy needs.
The forum, led by Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan and Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment Jackalyne Pfannenstiel, was the first of several scheduled energy forums.
The forum comes as a result of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) recently signed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of the Navy (DoN) to encourage the development of advanced biofuels and other renewable energy systems."
