There are 18 coal fired power stations in the UK. While there has been a move towards other forms of electricity generation, coal has proven to be one of the most cost effective and reliable fuels. The production of electricity from coal has remained stable over recent years and there is still a considerable amount of PFA available for use in the various applications. There is a considerable amount of PFA on long term stockpile that could be used for fill, grouting and similar applications. In addition, with new regulations on NOx emissions being enforced during 2007 more PFA will be processed to reduce the LOI and increase its suitability for use in concrete.
