BILLING CODE 5001–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Record of Decision and Floodplain 

Statement of Findings for the 

FutureGen 2.0 Project 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Record of Decision. 

SUMMARY: The United States (U.S.) 

Department of Energy (DOE) announces 

its decision to provide financial 

assistance to the FutureGen Industrial 

Alliance (the Alliance) for its FutureGen 

2.0 Project. DOE prepared an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

(DOE/EIS–0460) to evaluate the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with DOE’s proposed action 

of providing approximately $1 billion of 

financial assistance for the project (the 

majority of which was appropriated 

under the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA)) through 

cooperative agreements with the 

Alliance. The EIS evaluated the 

potential impacts associated with 

construction and operation of the 

proposed FutureGen 2.0 Project, which 

is a public-private partnership formed 

for the purpose of developing the 

world’s first commercial-scale, oxycombustion electric generation project 

integrated with carbon capture and 

geologic storage. The Alliance, 

cooperating with Ameren Energy 

Resources (Ameren), would upgrade one 

unit in a power plant currently owned 

by Ameren near Meredosia, Illinois. The 

repowered unit would include oxycombustion and carbon capture 

technologies designed to capture at least 

90 percent of its carbon dioxide (CO2) 

emissions during steady-state operation 

and reduce other emissions to near zero. 

The captured CO2 would be transported 

through an approximately 30-mile 

pipeline to wells where it would be 

injected approximately 4,000 feet below 

ground into a geologic saline formation 

for permanent storage. The project 

would be designed to capture, transport, 

and inject approximately 1.2 million 

tons (1.1 million metric tons) of CO2

annually, and up to a total of 24 million 

tons (22 million metric tons) over 

approximately 20 years. The Alliance 

would also construct and operate 

visitor, research, and training facilities 

related to carbon capture and storage in 

the vicinity of Jacksonville, Illinois. The 

DOE-funded demonstration period 

would last for 56 months from the start 

of operations (approximately 2017) 

through 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The EIS and this record of 

decision (ROD) are available on DOE’s 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Web site at http://energy.gov/

nepa/nepa-documents and on the DOE 

National Energy Technology Laboratory 

(NETL) Web site at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

prepared this ROD and Floodplain 

Statement of Findings pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 United States Code [U.S.C.] 

4321, et seq.), and in compliance with 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ) implementing regulations for 

NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations 

[CFR] parts 1500 through 1508), DOE’s 

implementing procedures for NEPA (10 

CFR Part 1021), and DOE’s Compliance 

with Floodplain and Wetland 

Environmental Review (10 CFR part 

1022). The decisions announced in this 

ROD are based on DOE’s final EIS for 

the FutureGen 2.0 Project (DOE/EIS– 

0460, October 2013) and other program 

considerations. 

Purpose and Need for Agency Action 

DOE considers the advancement of 

carbon capture and storage technology 

critically important to addressing CO2

emissions and global climate change 

concerns associated with the use of 

fossil fuels. The purpose of DOE’s 

proposed action is to demonstrate the
