Our solution enables producers of energy by-products to considerably reduce costs on dumping those materials.

For that reason, it looks for the ways how to improve the value added of fly ash to be able to directly utilise such materials in the building industry, e.g. as aggregate. "Silo Transport has been cooperating on development of artificial aggregate with specialised laboratories. The fly-ash based products would open completely new markets to us. We have to permanently do a lot in that way. The Czech Republic produces five million tons of fly ash a year. That's why the material has great potential in development of new building ...
