Description
Summary:[...] decision makers require an analytic method of evaluating the environmental impact of a fuel's life cycle. [...] at a minimum, the Air Force should support additional field research to improve our understanding of the environmental impact of alternative fuel usage. [...] it should investigate the other portions of the supply chain that support aircraft fuels (such as fuel storage) to avoid any potential adverse, unintended consequences of using alternative fuels.
