About the Conference
A landmark platform bringing together key stakeholders from power generation and cement manufacturing to tackle industrial waste management challenges
The CEE National Waste Management Summit & Awards 2025 serves as a crucial platform bringing together power generation and cement manufacturing industries to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. With over 86.35% of India's thermal power capacity produced from coal, the urgency for effective waste management has never been greater.
Our conference aims to bridge the gap between power generation companies and cement production companies by spotlighting innovative strategies and sustainable practices. With over 80% of coal combustion by-products comprising fly-ash, and approximately 217 million tons of fly-ash released annually, the need for collaborative solutions is paramount.
The summit focuses on transforming thermal power generation waste into economically beneficial materials while minimizing environmental impact. By bringing together industry experts, we strive to devise better utilization methods that convert power generation waste into wealth products that are both economically feasible and environmentally sound.

Waste To Wealth At Thermal Power Generation Sites
Fly-ash and gypsum are the two main components generated as by-products of power generation at thermal power plants. Both products have the potential to be used as profitable resources.
Environmental And Economic Impact
The environmental and economic impact of using fly-ash and FGD gypsum is limitless. It enables waste reduction while reducing disposal costs through environmentally harmful methods. It helps reduce the carbon footprint of the power generation industry, garnering significant government and industry support.
The CEE National Waste Management Summit & Awards 2025 aims to discuss strategies and share valuable insights to bring about a seamless shift from disposing power generation waste to more useful methods that are both environmentally and economically beneficial.
Fly-Ash Utilization Excellence Dashboard
STRATEGIC TARGET 2025
Achieve 100% Mandatory Utilization by April 2025
Utilization Progress Trajectory
Utilization Distribution (2021-22)
Comprehensive Utilization Analysis
| Application Avenue | Utilization % | Key Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Cement & Pozzolana Concrete | 25% | Construction, Infrastructure Development |
| Mine Back-filling & Reclamation | ~15% | Environmental Restoration, Land Rehabilitation |
| Bricks & Tiles Manufacturing | 7-13% | Sustainable Building Materials |
| Agricultural Applications | ~8% | Soil Enhancement, Agricultural Productivity |
| Roads & Infrastructure | ~4% | Highways, Flyovers, Urban Development |
| Total Utilization | ~96% | Multi-Sector Integration |
Strategic Outlook 2025
Remaining Challenge
~4% (~10 Mt) of annual fly-ash requires strategic absorption through optimized existing applications and innovative new utilization pathways.
Scalability Opportunities
Road construction and mine-filling sectors present the highest growth potential, offering scalable solutions beyond traditional cement applications.
Innovation Frontiers
Policy frameworks actively support advancement in composite blocks, soil stabilization technologies, and comprehensive environmental remediation solutions.
Executive Summary
India has demonstrated exceptional progress in fly-ash utilization, advancing from 83% in 2018-19 to an impressive 96% in 2021-22. While cement applications remain the cornerstone (25%), strategic diversification into roads, bricks, and reclamation sectors continues to expand. With robust government mandates and penalty frameworks in place, achieving 100% utilization by 2025 represents an attainable strategic objective—contingent upon successful expansion of alternative applications and infrastructure capacity to absorb residual fly-ash volumes.
