Alternative Energy Generation Solutions
How do you support America's energy needs with affordable and reliable green resources? Apply talent from an experienced and proven systems integrator committed to delivering disciplined performance every time.
As a global security company, Lockheed Martin thrives on solving its customers' most critical challenges. Lockheed Martin is addressing the nation's energy challenges with next-generation, utility-scale alternative energy generation solutions.
Lockheed Martin offers a broad portfolio of renewable and alternative energy solutions. From harnessing the power of the sun to leveraging the temperature difference of our ocean's waters, our top engineers are proving their commitment to achieving energy independence with alternative, green resources.
Solar Energy
Efficiently converting the sun's power into energy requires brilliant innovation. Lockheed Martin engineers are working to develop a large-scale solution using the sun's energy to create grid-ready electricity. Learn more »
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
Lockheed Martin is progressing with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. Known as OTEC, this technology leverages the ocean's natural thermal gradient to generate power. Learn more »
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology is an alternative energy source that uses an efficient chemical reaction to convert fuel into electricity for military generators, or gensets. The DOD has more than 100,000 gensets deployed around the world, providing power for warfighters in theater ranging from lighting and air conditioning to powering electronics. The troops who transport the fuel are some of the most exposed in the battlefield. The SOFC process is cleaner, more efficient and more cost effective than existing military gensets. SOFC technology could save billions in fuel costs and will help keep the troops out of harm’s way. Lockheed Martin and its partners built a laboratory-based SOFC genset. The test genset demonstrated more than 600 hours of operation on standard military high sulfur JP-8 fuel, including 475 hours of continuous operation in 2009. Learn more »
Synthetic Fuels
Lockheed Martin's traditional military customers are committed to energy independence through alternative sources and the Lockheed Martin team is working with several different cutting-edge, clean technologies to produce gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from renewable biomass or coal. The team also plans to leverage these same core technologies for power production.
Lockheed Martin, who will serve as the large-scale systems integrator, is working with strategic technology partners who offer expertise in these areas. The Corporation is teaming with partners to build pilot facilities demonstrating core technologies and will then move on to full commercial plants where Lockheed Martin would serve as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor.
Wave Energy
Lockheed Martin's talented engineers are collaborating with a key provider of wave power technology, Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPT), to pursue a utility-scale wave power generation project in North America. Together, the two companies are maturing wave power generation to develop a utility scale project in North America using OPT's PowerBuoy® wave generation system. The system uses a "smart" buoy to capture and convert wave energy into low-cost, clean electricity. The generated power is transmitted ashore via an underwater power cable.
