Coal Combustion Product Management Research

EPRI’s Coal Combustion Products (CCPs) research builds on years of experience with environmental characterization of Coal Combustion Products while also demonstrating beneficial commercial uses and value. The research provides scientific data, engineering knowledge, restoration methods and other tools for cost-effective soil and groundwater protection associated with Coal Combustion Product storage, disposal, and use. EPRI also provides technical support on regulatory issues affecting Coal Combustion Product management options. Current research focuses on the effects of new emission control technologies for nitrogen oxides, mercury, and sulfur oxides on Coal Combustion Product characteristics; how these changes might impact traditional Coal Combustion Product disposal and use options; assessing the risks associated with various management strategies; and groundwater characterization and remediation. The research seeks to understand changing Coal Combustion Product characteristics and regulations and develop new and expanded uses for Coal Combustion Products.
