Fort Benning, Fort Stewart and four other bases across the United States, have been selected to take part in a national pilot program to convert wood chips and cardboard into diesel fuel.
The military installations will take part in a two-year program sponsored by the Department of Defense Energy Security Command.
The project will install truck-sized converters that turn the post's waste products into fuel for combat vehicles.
Other posts participating in the pilot are Fort Drum, N.Y.; Fort AP Hill, Va.; and Fort Lewis, Wash.
