ADAA Symposium Program

"EXPLORING COAL COMBUSTION PRODUCT HARVESTING OPPORTUNITIES IN AUSTRALIA DURING THIS ONCE IN A LIFE-TIME ENERGY TRANSITION"

The Symposium is expected to bring together over 100 people including leaders, technical experts, engineering practitioners and key policy makers from around the world to share their knowledge and experience in harvesting Coal Combustion Products (CCPs).

OUR SPONSORS

WELCOME FROM THE ASH DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA’S CEO, CRAIG HEIDRICH Coal Combustion Products (CCPs) – often referred to as “coal ash” and including “fly ash” and “bottom ash” – are solid materials produced when coal is burned to generate electricity. There are many good reasons why the 12 million tonnes of CCPs generated annually and the ~ 250 million tonnes in storage should be viewed as resources.

Beneficiating and utilising CCPs conserves natural resources, saves energy and reduces associated carbon emissions contributing towards an efficient and sustainable circular economy.

With a background of accelerating change in the electricity market in New South Wales, the issue of supply and management of coal combustion products has been identified as an emerging long-term management issue for the NSW Government. In 2019, the NSW Parliament Legislative Council – Public Works Committee established and inquiry into and report on the costs for remediation of coal ash repositories in New South Wales. The Ash Development Association of Australia (ADAA), representing major industry stakeholders, recommended the recovery and use of stored CCPs would best address the terms of reference for the PWC, namely; · economic and employment opportunities associated with coal ash re-use, site remediation and repurposing of land;

· adequacy and effectiveness of the current regulatory regime for ensuring best practice remediation of coal ash repositories; · risks and liabilities associated with inadequate remediation including community and environmental health impacts.

Applications incorporating CCPs have been long proven to show the superior performance characteristics of these materials. Historically coal has been the largest reliable energy source for electricity, however with forecast changes in the Australian electricity market, securing CCPs suitable for use in low carobon construction applications will need to evolve and innovative solutions will need to develop in using these materials, in particular harvesting of stored materials has become an increasing priority.

The aim for this Symposium is bring together relevant stakeholders - Industry, Government and Community - to hear from international and local experts, to share information and understand the changing landscape of CCP production, and the emerging issues and future drivers for investigating harvesting potential of stored CCPs that could contribute towards to reducing carbon in construction materials and opportunities in the NSW circular economy.
