PIEX Market Potential: Incinerator Bottom As

Market Potential:

Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) is the residue from burning coal or solid waste in order to generate electric power. The 600 coal burning and 86 waste-to-energy electric power plants across the USA create 150 million tons of coal ash and IBA annually. The 150 million tons of toxic ash residue, created in the process of power generation continuously pollutes our nations aquifers. Coal ash and IBA contain environmental toxins including heavy metals, arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead and mercury. Dumping the ash into our landfills or stockpiling and impounding the ash leads to toxic leakage into our nations water supply.
