Round Three for Clean Coal

The US Department of Energy announced today it is planning a new round of its Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI).
Additionally, the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory today published a Notice of Intent to issue a funding opportunity announcement for Round Three of the CCPI.
The CCPI is a cost-sharing partnership between the government and industry to demonstrate advanced coal-based electric power generation technologies.
CCPI Round Three specifically targets advanced coal-based systems and subsystems that capture or separate carbon dioxide for sequestration or beneficial reuse.
Round Three is also open to any coal-based advanced carbon capture technologies that result in co-benefits with respect to efficiency, environmental, or economic improvements potentially capable of achieving CCPI coal technology performance levels specified in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
DOE is interested in demonstrating advanced technologies not currently deployed in the marketplace; specifically, technologies capable of producing electricity in any combination with heat, fuels, chemicals, hydrogen or other useful by-products.
