AshGen strives to turn one of the energy industry's largest waste liabilities into a domestic supply chain opportunity.
Coal fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion from power plants, currently sits in waste ponds and landfills as an expensive and environmental headache for utilities. However, this ash is rich in critical metals and is packed with aluminosilicates ideal for zeolites.
AshGen is building a proprietary extraction and upcycling process to unlock these critical minerals and convert the remaining waste into commercially viable, low-carbon zeolite products. AshGen is engineering the ultimate 'trash to treasure' story by providing a permanent solution to coal ash waste while building a circular economy.
