Book Description
The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 mandates that the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel, including the total cost of procuring and transporting fuel, infrastructure operating costs, and the cost of force protection for the logistics tail, be applied in trade-off analyses for all Department of Defense systems that create a demand for energy. Using data from the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, this thesis builds a model of its worldwide supply chain for bulk fuels, and uses the principles of input-output analysis to calculate the total cost to deliver three fuel types to each destination in the supply chain. Although the Defense Logistics Agency Energy charges a standard price to each service for bulk fuels, these results show that they incur very different costs, ranging from less than a penny per gallon to over 70 cents per gallon, to deliver to different locations. Given the appropriate data on services' fuel distribution networks, a Department of Defense-wide extension of the Bulk Fuels Distribution Model could be used to replace the current seven-step Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel process with a single step, allowing for less complex and more accurate Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel calculations.

Estimating the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel Using an Input-ouput Model - a Micro-level Analysis
Author: Sean R. Dubbs
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Afghanistan
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
In 2010, the Department of Defense (DoD) spent $1 3.2 billion on fuel purchases, with over 3,000 lives lost in fuel delivery operations between 2003 and 2007. To reduce both of these figures, the DoD is investing in technology to reduce fuel consumption, especially in expeditionary and forward operations. These reductions will cause cascading effects throughout the supply chain. The tools of Input-Output Analysis appear to be a natural fit for determining fuel costs throughout the supply chain and identifying the best ways to improve the efficiency of providing war-fighting capability. A model of the existing portion of the United States Marine Corps supply chain in Afghanistan was built as a proof of concept, along with six scenarios that explore different methods of reducing fuel consumption, to estimate the fuel multiplier for each component in the supply chain. This model was useful in providing insight and a lower bound on the fully burdened cost of fuel within the Afghanistan supply chain. The results of this analysis show that the impact of force protection fuel usage is not as large as previously believed. In some situations, fuel resupply through an airdrop could be a more efficient delivery method than ground transportation. Different methods of achieving reduced fuel consumption have different impacts on the fuel multiplier in the supply chain, thus affecting the short-term planning ability of the operational commander.

Evaluating the Impact of the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This thesis motivates and defines the concept of Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel (FBCF), assesses Department of the Navy Major Defense Acquisition Programs potentially impacted by FBCF estimates and applies an experimental methodology developed by OUSD(AT & L) to estimate and analyze the FBCF of a notional capability. Our analysis shows that there are potentially large variations in energy-related costs (burdens) associated with the required fuel delivery assets, the supporting infrastructure and associated manpower, and the assets providing force protection and security to the fuel delivery assets in both peacetime and operational scenarios. Recommendations for follow on studies are provided.

A Comparison of the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel Methodologies Used Across the Department of Defense

Pages : 69
Book Description
This thesis describes the various Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel (FBCF) methodologies under development across the Department of Defense. A comparison of the Air Force FBCF Calculator and the OSD (AT & L) FBCF Calculator is performed and identifies the similarities and differences between the methodologies to include an analysis of the output of each calculator. Our analysis indicates that while the methodologies used to calculate the FBCF vary among the Services, they share common underlying principles and the FBCF methodologies can produce similar results. Recommendations for follow on studies are provided.

Book Description
This thought-provoking and colorful book cuts through the fog of vision and advocacy by comparing and applying new quantitative tools of both environmental and ecological economics. Environmental accounts and empirical analyses provide operational concepts and measures of the sustainability of economic performance and growth. The text raises doubts, however, about the measurability of sustainable development. Further reading sections are provided at the end of each chapter.

Carbon Pricing in Japan
Author: Toshi H. Arimura
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811569649
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This open access book evaluates, from an economic perspective, various measures introduced in Japan to prevent climate change. Although various countries have implemented such policies in response to the pressing issue of climate change, the effectiveness of those programs has not been sufficiently compared. In particular, policy evaluations in the Asian region are far behind those in North America and Europe due to data limitations and political reasons. The first part of the book summarizes measures in different sectors in Japan to prevent climate change, such as emissions trading and carbon tax, and assesses their impact. The second part shows how those policies have changed the behavior of firms and households. In addition, it presents macro-economic simulations that consider the potential of renewable energy. Lastly, based on these comprehensive assessments, it compares the effectiveness of measures to prevent climate change in Japan and Western countries. Providing valuable insights, this book will appeal to both academic researchers and policymakers seeking cost-effective measures against climate change.
