Natural Resources committee  I should have mentioned that. I apologize. Typically, they're looking at a better quality coal that they have to work with in the U.S. And the core technology to the FutureGen project is gasification technology. So there are similarities, certainly, to our interest in gasification that we're working on in Canada, but the coal properties are somewhat different in terms of their resource versus ours.

Natural Resources committee  What I've indicated as well in the deck, sir, is that it's roughly 13% of our total portfolio, which tries to cover renewables and end-use technologies in three broad areas: transportation, industry, building, etc. It's a question of allocation of resources over a number of very important areas.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Tonks. We've been following the FutureGen project very carefully since its beginning. Just a thumbnail sketch, it's essentially a project to generate hydrogen for the purposes of furthering the hydrogen economy plus electricity. It includes CO2 capture and storage.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much, John. On slide 7 I'll pick up the briefing from there, Chair. While there are certainly incremental gains to be made in the performance of today's technologies, we believe that a fundamental change in technology is needed to make significant progress toward meeting the green challenge.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Tom. I'm Graham Campbell. I'm with the Office of Energy Research and Development at Natural Resources Canada. I believe we're coming back to the committee on May 14 for a discussion on clean coal in general. But, Mr. Tonks, just briefly, gasification is one of the three types of technologies that we would see moving ahead that could potentially offer two or three benefits.
