# Creative solutions to oil waste, sources for fuel of tomorrow

By Connie BraeschDLA Energy Public Affairs

                The Navy is using temporary tanks like these to store fuel oil reclaimed.                            181119-D-D0441-001                            The Navy is using temporary tanks like these to store fuel oil reclaimed.            SHARE IMAGE:Download ImageImage DetailsPhoto By: Courtesy PhotoVIRIN: 190101-D-YE683-023As the U.S. government’s largest supplier of fuel to the Department of Defense and other government agencies, the Defense Logistics Agency is constantly looking for environmentally conscious ways to cut waste, maximize supply chains and build resilient, efficient sources of energy.

## **Recycling Used Oil**

When DLA Energy Quality Assurance Representative Daniel Muranaka learned the Navy was spending a lot of money to dispose of its used fuel oil, he decided to do something about it – and found a way to not only save up to $1 million per year but actually generate a revenue.

“As a quality assurance representative, I don’t have the opportunity to manage and analyze programs and projects, especially those that transcend agencies with millions of dollars at stake,” he said. “This project allowed me to demonstrate the capability of managing and analyzing projects with significant impacts.”                The University of Maine’s Biomass to Bioproducts Pilot Plant at its Technology Research Center is working to convert cellulosic material like recycled paper and cardboard into jet fuel.                            180730-D-D0441-998                            The University of Maine’s Biomass to Bioproducts Pilot Plant at its Technology Research Center is working to convert cellulosic material like recycled paper and cardboard into jet fuel.            SHARE IMAGE:Download ImageImage DetailsPhoto By: University of MaineVIRIN: 190101-D-YE683-025
