Fly ash use
On its website JCOAL states that it has been "developing technologies for effective usage of coal ash, as the amount of the cement matrix (that is the most popular method of processing coal ash in Japan) will decreases."[2]
Japan Coal Energy Center is a signatory to the charter of the Worldwide Coal Combustion Products Network which was formed in 1999 to "promote, coordinate and inform the public, industry and governmental entities about the beneficial environmental, technical and commercial uses of coal combustion products (CCPs).[1]
JCOAL states that it also collaborates with the Federation of Electric Power Companies and the Japan Fly Ash Association in the collection of statistics on coal ash production and utilisation.[2]
