What kind of coal will FutureGen use?

FutureGen has been designed to operate at its best using either of two primary types of coal: bituminous (e.g. Ill#6, Pit#8) and subbituminous (e.g. Powder River Basin). However, the plant is being designed to operate on other coals such as lignite. The Alliance plans to test a wide variety of coals during its operation, to better understand how these coals perform in near-zero emission gasification operations.
