- Description
- The purpose of this announcement is to notify potentially interested parties of the Department of Energy???s intent to restructure the FutureGen project to ensure that it more closely reflects the immediate and future needs of the Nation, its power sector and the taxpaying public. FutureGen???s primary goal is to demonstrate advanced technology that produces electricity from coal, the Nation???s lowest cost and most abundant domestic energy resource, in ways that mitigate the atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Over the past few years, U.S. has furthered efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, policy dynamics in the U.S. have followed suit, and as a result there is now an increasing need to accelerate clean coal technology, particularly the deployment of the FutureGen concept, since coal will continue to be a viable domestic energy source. Through this Request For Information (RFI), DOE seeks input and public comment on DOE???s restructured approach and expressions of interest from power producers who would consider participating in the revised FutureGen initiative. Responses will help shape a competitive Funding Opportunity Announcement expected to be released in the second quarter of calendar year 2008. DOE is proposing an aggressive schedule for implementing the revised approach to FutureGen. Public comments on the RFI are due on March 3, 2008. Interested parties should submit their comments by e-mail: Keith.Miles@NETL.DOE.GOV. It is requested that e-mails identify on the Subject line ???COMMENTS ON REVISED FUTUREGEN.??? Further information regarding this RFI, including the format for public comments, is contained in the attached document.
