How Constellation Energy reuses coal ash
Constellation Energy's coal-burning power plants in Maryland produce nearly 800,000 tons of coal ash and byproducts annually.
- Approximately 60% of that ash is used beneficially to produce such products as blasting grit, flowable fill, cement and concrete.
- Other forms of beneficial reuse includes use as structural fill to reclaim surface mines or to provide backfill for road construction.
- Constellation Energy's reuse rate is well above the industry average of 43%.
