US military biofuels prices competitive: official

摘要

Washington—The US Navy’s first general call for biofuels for ships and aircraft should result in prices comparable to what the military service pays for conventional fuels, an Navy official said. “We’ve got a very, very good set of analysis that shows us that it’s going to be coming in under $3.50 a gallon,” Dennis McGinn, the Navy’s assistant secretary for energy, installations and environment, said on the TV program “Platts Energy Week.”
