12. I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Alt Fuels Certification ATJ Strategy  Phase 1 – Approved Feasibility Demonstration  Validate ATJ as viable pathway; bridge “producibility” gap  Perform materials & sub-system evaluations  Dedicated engine test completed  A-10 aircraft flight test scheduled for Jun 2012  Phase 2 – Follow up w/accelerated USAF certification  Decision to proceed depends on success of Phase 1  Similar to HRJ effort  Dedicated “Pathfinders” & engine testing  Majority of fleet by similarity 12

13. I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Summary JP-8/SPK (Fischer Tropsch) Certification Program FT fuel blend performs just like JP-8 MIL-DTL-83133G revision allows unrestricted usage for USAF “Drop-in” primary fuel for aircraft, engines, GSE, & infrastructure Biomass-Derived Fuel (HRJ) Program A-10, F-15, C-17, F-16, MQ-9, RQ-4, C-130 & F-22 successfully demonstrated operations 90% of the fleet fully certified HRJ fuel blend performs just like JP-8 Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) Program- Feasibility Demo approved; FY11/12 effort underway On Track to Meet USAF Synthetic Fuel Goals Gaining efficiencies through interaction with DoD, inter-agency, industry, academia, and allied efforts 13
