Demonstrations selected under these solicitations must address needs not met by the private sector, promote technologies that have not been proven commercially, have wide applicability to the existing power plant fleet, and provide substantial public benefit.

"I refer to the article, 'Tuas Power to build $2b 'clean' plant' (Sept 26). Clean coal is an oxymoron as coal is associated with multiple environmental problems, such as habitat destruction, acid rain and global warming. Burning coal produces higher levels of carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulates and mercury. With these environmental impacts in mind, Tuas Power and the National Environment Agency need to reassure the public and concerned environmentalists on the use of coal in the new plant. The new plant should not increase Singapore's environmental impacts, especially our carbon emissions. If it does, it seems we are moving one step forward and two steps backward in our green efforts."
