CCR Energy is analyzing 18 million tonnes of pulverised fuel ash at Aberthaw Power Station for commercial applications. The project aims to identify viable uses in construction and minerals recovery, fostering partnerships with academic and industrial sectors to ensure responsible development.

CCR Energy, which acquired the Aberthaw Power Station in 2023, is investigating the potential commercial uses of 18 million tonnes of pulverised fuel ash (PFA) on site. Initial analyses have identified rare earth elements and critical minerals, providing a basis for further exploration.
The company is focused on establishing partnerships with universities and businesses to develop sustainable applications for PFA while addressing regulatory and market considerations. Engaging the local community and ensuring safety during any ash removal process will be crucial as CCR Energy balances immediate revenue opportunities with long-term innovation strategies. The collaborative effort may reshape how Wales utilizes industrial by-products.
