"EXPLORING COAL COMBUSTION PRODUCT HARVESTING OPPORTUNITIES IN AUSTRALIA DURING THIS ONCE IN A LIFE-TIME ENERGY TRANSITION"
TheSymposiumisexpectedtobringtogetherover100peopleincludingleaders, technicalexperts,engineeringpractitionersandkeypolicymakersfromaround theworldtosharetheirknowledgeandexperienceinharvestingCoal CombustionProducts(CCPs).
CoalCombustionProducts(CCPs)–oftenreferredtoas“coalash”and including“flyash”and“bottomash”–aresolidmaterialsproducedwhencoalis burnedtogenerateelectricity Thereare manygoodreasonswhythe12million tonnesofCCPsgeneratedannuallyand the~250milliontonnesinstorage shouldbeviewedasresources.
