FutureGen is a public-private partnership aimed at building and operating the world's first coal-fueled, near-zero emissions power plant. Using cutting-edge technologies, the plant will generate electricity while capturing and permanently storing carbon dioxide beneath the earth. The plant will also produce hydrogen for use by other industries. The project was initially funded, in part, by the U.S. government, but in January 2008, the Department of Energy withdrew funding.
