The Energy Department has issued a request for information to solicit input on how to develop modular coal-based power generation systems.
DOE said Tuesday its Office of Fossil Energy seeks to determine technical and market factors that should be considered to design, construct and operate a pilot-scale coal power plant.
The department envisions a power station that can reach an efficiency level of more than 40 percent and has load-following capacity to address electricity grid demands.
Interested parties should electronically submit responses to the RFI notice by June 8.
