Total ash production and beneficial usage

Total ash production preliminary estimate1 for 2008 is approximately 14.6 Mt (million tonnes). The beneficial usage includes all use of power station ash regardless whether the ash is sold or used internally by the ash producer. The beneficial ash use increases from 1994 were the result of ash use for bulk fill applications and for use in the backfilling of mines in NSW and SA.

Comparison of cement and fly ash sales

The following chart plots the growth in fly ash (cementitious use) sales compared to cement sales over the past fourteen (14) years.  Although cement sales have grown over the corresponding period, fly ash sales have increased at a much faster rate.
