30 March 2006 - A total of 22 sites in nine separate states have been put forward to host the world's first coal fired 'zero emissions' power plant that will generate electricity and hydrogen and demonstrate carbon capture and sequestration technologies.

Interested parties were required to submit their interest in hosting the so-called FutureGen project to the Industrial Alliance by 24 March. No further details of the interest parties were made available.

Alliance CEO, Mike Mudd, said: "The large number of notices of intent received is not surprising based on the importance that this project has regarding the future of coal and the interest expressed by many stakeholders in this very important project."

Construction of FutureGen is scheduled to begin within three years. According to the Alliance, which is made up from companies including AEP, China Huaneng Group, Foundation Coal, Peabody Energy and Southern Company, the project is expected to accelerate the commercialization of the best technologies so that ultimately a whole fleet of plants based on the FutureGen design can be sited and developed worldwide.
