PHARE TWINNING PROJECT RO2004/IB/EN-07 GUIDELINES ON INDUSTRIAL - THERMOELECTRIC PLANTS XX<br />

The amount of CCPs produced in the EU-15 power plants totals 55 million tonnes. The follow Figure shows<br />

the shares of the different CCPs produced in 1999. Almost 70 % of the total CCPs are yielded as fly ash.<br />

All combustion residues add up to 85.1 % and FGD residues up to 13.9 % by mass.<br />

Most of the CCPs produced were used in the building industry, in civil engineering, and as construction<br />

materials in underground mining (55.3 %) or for the restoration of open cast mines, quarries and pits (33.2<br />

%). In 1999, only 2.2 % were temporarily stockpiled for future use and 9.3 % were disposed of (Figure<br />

4.47).<br />

CCP utilisation varies between Member States, since climate, taxes and the legal situations also vary. In<br />

some EU-15 countries the utilisation rate for CCPs is nearly 100 %, whereas in other countries the<br />

utilisation rate will not exceed 10 % due to existing unfavourable conditions, such as heavy metal content,<br />

loss of ignition, free and total Ca content, Cl, etc.<br />

The utilisation of desulphurisation products also varies within the EU. In some countries, spray dry<br />

absorption (SDA) products are utilised in the construction industry and as fertiliser, in other countries it is<br />

disposed of. The FGD gypsum is utilised for the production of plasterboards and self-levelling floor<br />
