Introduction & Statistics What are CCPs? Coal combustion products are the materials created when we burn coal to generate electricity. In 2006, the United States produced nearly 125 million tons of CCPs, including fly ash,flue gas desulfurization (FGD) materials, bottom ash, boiler slag, and other power plant byproducts. While 43 percent were used beneficially, nearly 70 million tons were disposed of. These figures  are collected and analyzed every year by ACAA. Environmental Sustainability Case Studies  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency           collects illustrations of coal combustion product applications that the Agency believes can be beneficial to the environment.
