Charah Solutions Article “There’s More to CCPs Than Fly Ash” Featured in ASH At Work Magazine

The latest feature article, “There’s More to CCPs Than Fly Ash,” in American Coal Ash Association’s ASH At Work magazine, written by Charah Solutions Vice President of Operations, Eric Effinger, P.E., PMP, details the multiple ways in which coal combustion products (CCPs) can be beneficially recycled. While the reuse of fly ash in the production of green concrete represents the largest use of recycled CCPs, it is just one part of the CCP equation, with other beneficial uses including:

• Ash for structural fill and land reclamation
• Ash for cement kiln feed used in the production of cement
• Gypsum used in the production of drywall
• Gypsum used in the production of agricultural fertilizer

In 2020 alone, Charah Solutions recycled more than 2.58 million tons of CCPs, saving 2.24 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these beneficial uses conserve water and virgin resources, as well as reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
