FutureGen will be a 275- Megawatt power plant expected to take 10 years to build and whose cost will be shared - $620 million by the Department Of Energy and $250 million by a large consortium of coal mining and power industry companies. It will be operated as a research facility. FutureGen will seek to Sequester Carbon Dioxide emissions at an operating rate of one million metric tons per year in order to adequately stress test a representative portion of a geologic formation (with a capability up to two million tons per year). {Link without Title} States have bid to host the demonstration project, and foreign participation has been solicited (since by 2020 more than 60% of anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas emissions are expected to come from developing countries). Future plants based on FutureGen should qualify for several provisions of the Energy Policy Act Of 2005 . REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS
