A14 project - Using coal ash for road construction Drax, the United Kingdom’s largest renewable energy producer, has, in addition to fulfilling its aim of becoming a carbon negative company by 2030, helped in constructing the
A14 highway in the United Kingdom using ash from its power stations as a major component. This not only makes the ash a usable byproduct of energy generation but also avoids the need to
mine fresh aggregate. Using ash also reduced the average energy required for road construction.
