Source summary
Explore economically viable use of all fly/bottom ash from coal power plants rather than continued dumping. Possible applications include construction materials, ceramics/glass, soil treatment and remediation. The source explicitly requires product quality/safety, competitive costs, environmental/regulatory compliance and market acceptance. Agricultural or environmental uses are research proposals to validate, not recommendations for untested ash application.
