Coal Combustion Products (CCPs)

Coal Combustion Products (CCPs) are the materials left over after coal is burned in power plants. These include ash and slag that result from the process. CCPs can be recycled and used in construction materials like concrete, drywall, and road fill, helping reduce environmental waste. Proper management of CCPs is important because, if not handled carefully, they can contain pollutants such as heavy metals. Overall, CCPs are a byproduct of coal energy production, and with appropriate use and disposal, they can be beneficial resources rather than waste.
