	FutureGen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		FutureGen is a project of the US government to build a zero-emissions coal-fired power plant that produces hydrogen and electricity while using Carbon Capture and Storage.
		FutureGen will be a 275-megawatt power plant expected to take 10 years to build and whose cost will be shared - $620 million by the Department of Energy and $250 million by a large consortium of coal mining and power industry companies.
		FutureGen will seek to sequester carbon dioxide emissions at an operating rate of one million metric tons per year in order to adequately stress test a representative portion of a geologic formation (with a capability up to two million tons per year).

	Ohio Air Quality Development Authority -- FutureGen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		FutureGen is a dynamic international project to design, build and operate the world’s first coal-based power plant that produces electricity and hydrogen with near-zero emissions.
		FutureGen is naturally suited to Ohio given the abundant coal reserves and deep geology necessary for the project.
		The exact costs of competing for FutureGen are difficult to project until the actual Request for Proposals is released, the “short list” is developed for the second phase of the competition, and the specific submission requirements are detailed by the U. Department of Energy and the FutureGen Alliance.

	DOE - Fossil Energy Techline: FutureGen Project Launched
		FutureGen will initiate operations around 2012 and virtually every aspect of the prototype plant will be based on cutting-edge technology.
		The FutureGen plant will be sized to generate approximately 275 megawatts of electricity, which is roughly equivalent to a medium-size coal-fired power plant and sufficient to supply electricity to approximately 275,000 average U.S. households.
		FutureGen's production of hydrogen will support the President's call to create a hydrogen economy and provide fuel for emissions-free vehicles, and the use of coal will help provide for America's energy security by developing technologies that utilize a plentiful domestic resource.

		Inevitably, and with a tinge of irony, some of the bids for FutureGen are going to come from the very same conservative, industrial states where local political officials are not exactly known for their concerns about climate change.
		FutureGen officials will not discuss publicly who or what body will make the final decision on the site location, leaving unanswered the question about what role the Energy secretary, industry, Congress and even the president may have.

	FutureGen Industrial Alliance to Develop First Near-Zero Emissions Electricity
		FutureGen will demonstrate advanced coal-based technologies to generate electricity for families and businesses, and also produce hydrogen to power fuel cells for transportation and other energy needs. The technology also will integrate the capture of carbon emissions with carbon sequestration, helping to address the issue of climate change as energy demand continues to grow worldwide.
		Formation of FutureGen Alliance was coordinated by Battelle, a non-profit research and development institution. The Alliance is working with DOE to secure a final agreement for FutureGen. Once an agreement is reached, the process would proceed to site selection and plant design.
		Beyond creating ultra-clean electricity from coal, FutureGen is being developed to transform the nation's transportation fleet from reliance on petroleum to clean hydrogen. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that increasing coal production by 330 million tons per year would satisfy 50 percent of the nation's transportation requirements for the Freedom Car initiative.
