Burlington, Mass., May 9, 2022 – Haley & Aldrich announced today that 24 of its coal combustion residuals (CCR) experts have authored and co-authored 17 abstracts accepted at this year’s World of Coal Ash (WOCA) conference. The conference will take place from May 16 to 19 in Covington, Kentucky, and is the “premier international conference on the science, application, and sustainability of coal combustion products.” The American Coal Ash Association and the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research collaborate to host WOCA every other year.
