What are the barriers to coal combustion product (CCP) use?
There are many technical, economic, regulatory and institutional barriers to increased use of CCPs. A lack of standards and guidelines for certain applications and new applications heads the list of technical barriers. Transportation costs lead the economic barriers, which limit the shipment of CCPs to within about a 50-mile (80 kilometer) radius of the power plants.
