What are CCPs? Coal combustion products are materials created when we burn coal to generate electricity. In 2007, the United States produced more than 125 million tons of CCPs, including fly ash, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) materials, bottom ash, boiler slag, and others. While 43 percent were used beneficially, nearly 70 million tons were disposed of. The American Coal Ash Association collects and analyzes  these figures annually and releases the data in its CCP Production & Use Report. 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.
