World’s First ‘Zero Emissions’ Coal Plant Issues Host Site RFP

The FutureGen Industrial Alliance today said it has released the final Request for Proposals (RFPs) for parties interested in hosting the world’s first coal-fueled “zero emissions” power plant. The final RFP and responses to questions and comments made on the Draft RFP are posted on the Alliance’s website at http://www.futuregenalliance.org/ . Proposals for the host site are due May 4, 2006. Based on an evaluation of the proposals received, the Alliance will develop a list of candidate sites by the summer of 2006.

The FutureGen project will integrate several technologies to generate electricity and hydrogen from coal — an abundant energy resource in the U.S. and other regions of the world — while nearly eliminating emissions.
