FutureGen Coal Plant Starts Over
A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project called FutureGen was originally a $1 billion coal plant to produce hydrogen and test carbon capture and sequestration technology (CCS). CCS means that the carbon dioxide (CO2) - a major contributor to global warming - is captured before it’s spewed into the atmosphere and then transferred underground for storage. This is an experimental technology, and FutureGen was going to be a big test case. The DOE [...]
