Overview:

A comprehensive and focused conference for the energy industry that will discuss the current and future issues concerning the use and disposal of coal combustion products (CCPs). Beginning with an overview of recent and future regulatory initiatives, the conference will include a summary of the challenges facing the utility industry as operational and economic decisions will be made pertaining to emission controls and air quality compliance. The potential impact of such changes will be addressed including the subtle factors affecting use and disposal.

Esteemed CCP experts will discuss why the industry supports sustainability, what enables a company to achieve substantial financial and environmental successes together, and recent developments and future opportunities for CCP utilization. In parallel, the management factors of disposal are ever present and demand a cohesive strategy that considers regional differences involved with disposal and accurate cost modeling for landfill design, monitoring, and reporting. Utilities are faced with additional regulation compliance that may very well render their combustion products (CCPs) unmarketable. The challenges and possible influences of such regulations on disposal will be addressed together with the current trends and economic factors.

The genuine utility perspective on management practices of CCPs will contribute a valuable center piece for dialogue and exploration of their decisions, potential outcomes and what they might have altered. Register today!
