Ash Development Association of Australia
Australian producers and marketers of Power Station ash formed the Ash Development Association of Australia Inc (ADAA) in 1991. The primary objectives are to conduct research and technology
transfer on behalf of members and to assist in developing market opportunities in the use of ash materials for all stakeholders.
Some of these objectives include the increasing potential users awareness of the beneficial properties and value of ash through
1. Technical assistance to ash producers, marketers and consumers
2. Stimulation of research and development into ash usage
3. To provide a forum for the exchange and publication of ash information. In achieving these objectives, the ADAA has and continues to focus on increasing user awareness of the benefits arising through the effective utilisation of this valuable mineral by- product, which if realised, has benefits for industry, the environment and the community as a whole.
Highlighting this aspect of the environment, since 1975 some 16,000,000 tonnes of GHG have been replaced by the effective use of fly ash concrete.
The challenge for the Association membership ahead is
identifying the next incremental step (growth potentials) for
increased utilisation of domestic coal combustion production.
Members of the Association and their overseas colleagues have
had years of experience in the use of CCP's in its many
applications. The Association can call on these resources to
provide information and advice on inquiries regarding uses of
this valuable resource.
