『FutureGen is an initiative to build the world's
first integrated sequestration and hydrogen production research
power plant. The $1.5 billion* project is intended to create
the world's first zero-emissions fossil fuel plant. When operational,
the prototype will be the cleanest fossil fuel fired power plant
in the world.(以下略)』 The Early Days of Coal Research Wartime Needs Spur Interest

『FutureGen is a public-private partnership to
design, build, and operate the world's first coal-fueled, near-zero
emissions power plant, at an estimated net project cost of US
$1.5 billion. The commercial-scale plant will prove the technical
and economic feasibility of producing low-cost electricity and
hydrogen from coal while nearly eliminating emissions. It will
also support testing and commercialization of technologies focused
on generating clean power, capturing and permanently storing
carbon dioxide, and producing hydrogen. In the process, FutureGen
will create unique opportunities for scientific exploration,
education, and stakeholder engagement.(以下略)』
