What Is C2P2?
The Coal Combustion Products Partnership (C2P2)
program is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, American Coal Ash Association, Utility Solid Waste Activities
Group, US Department of Energy, US Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, US Federal Highway Administration, and Electric Power Research Institute
to help promote the beneficial use of Coal Combustion Products (CCPs)
and the environmental benefits that result from their use.
Upcoming Events
C2P2 2008 Awards Ceremony was held July 2. For more information see News and Events or contact John Sager (sager.john@epa.gov).

Federal
Green Construction Guide for Specifiers
To address the need for a comprehensive guide for procuring green
building products and construction services within the Federal government,
EPA has partnered with the Federal Environmental Executive and the
Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) to develop the Federal Green
Construction Guide for Specifiers.
