Featured Project: ScotAsh

Joint Venture between Blue Circle and ScottishPower.

Strategic considerations:

• To minimise ash landfill through the development of cementitious and non cementitious markets for fly ash and bottom ash
• To develop more sustainable cements with a lower carbon footprint
• To develop value added markets based on fly ash: oil sector; waste stabilisation; fillers
• To develop robust business plan to ensure business was financially independent
