| Description | Journal: Physics World An ambitious plan to build a $1.8bn coal-fired power plant that would not release any carbon dioxide into the atmosphere has been delayed after the US Department of Energy (DOE) cancelled a planned grant of $1.1bn for the so-called FutureGen programme. Critics complain that the withdrawal of support will seriously hamper the development of what could be an environmentally sound technology. However, the board of the FutureGen Alliance – a public–private partnership set up to design, build and operate the plant – has announced that it will continue to push the project forward. |
