AshGen is creating an AI-enabled process to transform coal fly ash into critical metals, geopolymers, and zeolites — driving decarbonization across heavy industries while creating a domestic supply of essential resources
Learn MoreCoal fly ash is one of the largest industrial waste streams in the United States. American power plants still produce tens of millions of tons of coal ash every year and more than a billion tons already sit in open landfills and waste ponds across the country
That waste doesn't just take up space. Coal ash contains heavy metals that can leach into surrounding soil and water sources, creating serious environmental risks for nearby communities. As a result, the EPA requires utilities to properly dispose of both newly generated and legacy ash, turning it into a costly and growing liability
AshGen will change that equation. Our proprietary, zero-waste process, transforms this environmental liability into valuable, low-carbon products, including critical minerals for U.S. advanced industries and construction materials for the modern environment
Get in TouchOur process will create low-carbon alternatives for heavy industrial materials that are traditionally produced using pollution intesive methods
By recovering critical metals from fly ash, AshGen will help reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources for materials essential to manufacturing and clean energy
We will convert a problematic waste stream into productive inputs, reducing land use, leaching risk, and long-term liability of fly ash storage
