Fuel cell/gas turbine hybrids will form the essential power block component of the FutureGen plant, allowing high overall efficiency and exceptional environmental performance to be achieved at low cost. 

The High Temperature Electrochemistry Center (HiTEC) Advanced Research Program provides research for supporting SECA, fuel cell coal based systems, and FutureGen. HiTEC is located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) with support groups at Montana State Uni-... 

In 2003 the Department of Energy announced FutureGen, also known as the Integrated Sequestration and Hydrogen Research Initiative. This is a 10-year, billion dollar project to produce a 275-MW prototype plant that will cogenerate electricity and hydrogen and sequester 90% of the C02. 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has started the billion- dollar, FutureGen project to demonstrate a 275-megawatt prototype plant that cogenerates electric power and hydrogen and sequesters 90% of the C02.

Capturing and storing 200 to 400 Mt C annually by 2050 is a huge task. On the order of a thousand projects the size of the first two C02 geological storage demonstration projects (discussed below, in the subsection CCS Demonstration Projects ) would be required. These projects each capture and store about 300,000 metric tons C/yr. This is also the scale of CCS planned for the proposed FutureGen Project (see below). 

Beyond the Vision 21 program, the DOE recently announced its intention to proceed with a large, coal-to-electricity-and-hydrogen verification plant with coupled sequestration. This plant, called FutureGen, is now in the early stages of detailed planning. In addition to demonstrating...
