About AshGen

Coal ash can be a resource, not a liability

AshGen is a materials technology company focused on transforming one of the world’s most abundant industrial byproducts, coal fly ash, into high-value strategic resources.

Our proprietary, zero-waste process produces critical minerals, zeolites, and supplementary cementitious materials from coal fly ash streams with greater efficiency and lower carbon output than conventional methods. The result is a stronger domestic supply chain of critical minerals and new economic value for coal ash.
