About C2P2
The Coal Combustion Products Partnership (C2P2)
program will help meet the national waste reduction goals of the Resource
Conservation Challenge—an EPA effort to find flexible yet more
protective ways to conserve valuable natural resources through waste reduction,
energy recovery, and recycling.
Through the C2P2 program,
EPA and its co-sponsors work with all levels of government, as well as
industry organizations, to reduce or eliminate legal, institutional, economic,
market, informational, and other barriers to the beneficial use of CCPs.
Specifically, C2P2 aims
for the following goals:
- Reduce adverse effects on air and land by increasing the use of coal combustion products to 50 percent in 2011 from 31 percent in 2001.
- Increase the use of CCPs as a supplementary cementitious material
(SCM) in concrete by 50 percent, from 12.4 million tons in 2001 to 18.6
million tons in 2011, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from
avoided cement manufacturing by approximately 5 million tons.
The C2P2 program aims to accomplish these goals through the following initiatives:
- C2P2 Partners. C2P2 works with organizations to increase the beneficial use of CCPs.
- Barrier Breaking Activities. C2P2 undertakes activities such as developing booklets for distribution, publishing case studies, and writing new policies to increase the beneficial use of CCPs.
- Utilization Workshops. EPA and its co-sponsors offer workshops on the beneficial use of CCPs.
