; (B) large-scale pilot projects; (C) demonstration projects; (D) net-negative carbon dioxide emissions projects; and (E) a front-end engineering and design program. (3) Program goals and objectives In consultation with the interested entities described in paragraph (4)(C), the Secretary shall develop goals and objectives for the program to be applied to the technologies developed within the program, taking into consideration the following objectives: (A) Ensure reliable, low-cost power from new and existing coal plants. (B) Achieve high conversion efficiencies. (C) Address emissions of carbon dioxide through high-efficiency platforms and carbon capture from new and existing coal plants. (D) Support small-scale and modular technologies to enable incremental capacity additions and load growth, in addition to large-scale generation technologies. (E) Support baseload operations for new and existing applications of coal generation. (F) Further reduce emissions of criteria pollutants and reduce the use and manage the discharge of water in power plant operations. (G) Accelerate the development of technologies that have transformational energy conversion characteristics. (H) Validate safe geological storage of large volumes of anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide and support the development of the infrastructure needed to support a carbon dioxide use and storage industry. (I) Examine methods of converting coal to other valuable products and commodities in addition to electricity. (4) Consultations required In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall— (A) undertake international collaborations, taking into consideration the recommendations of the National Coal Council; (B) use existing authorities to encourage international cooperation; and (C) consult with interested entities, including— (i) coal producers; (ii) industries that use coal; (iii) organizations that promote coal and advanced coal technologies; (iv) environmental organizations; (v) organizations representing workers
