About the Economic Assessment

In 2005, the American Coal Council (ACC) published the first extensive study of the economic inpact of coal ash utilization in the United States. the 128-page report examined the production and use of coal combustion products including fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and synthetic FGD gypsum. The study indentified more than $2.2 billion in annual direct economic impact from the use of the products in a variety of construction and manufacturing applications, as well as a total economic impact of nearly $4.5 billion annually.

About the Update

Since the 2005 report was published, utilization of coal combustion products has increased significantly. Additionally, regulatory scrutiny of coal ash disposal has increased on both the state and federal levels, with new federal regulations expected to be proposed by the end of 2009. Climate change legislation now moving through Congress may also affect the future value of coal ash, which can be used to offset emission of greenhouse gases. These factors, among others, have prompted the ACC to undertake an update and expansion of the 2005 report that is scheudled for publication in Fall 2009.
