ANNOUNCEMENT I
REGISTRATION FORM
Dear Colleagues,
The Polish Coal Combustion Products Union has for the 26th time a pleasure of announcing that the annual Conference ASHES FROM POWER GENERATION will take place on October 8-10, 2019, in Sheraton Hotel in Sopot, Poland.
As an event of importance for the coal-based power and CCP utilization sector it is going to be yet another good venue for meeting of academics and practitioners, specialists from coal-based power sector, CCP market operators, providers of process equipment, and transport and sales agencies.
The Conference is aiming at gathering participants from all the above groups in order to promote the knowledge and science on topics that are soon to constitute the necessary business conditions for generating and utilizing CCPs, which the Circular Economy regulations and practices are inevitably to become.
One of important elements of discussions within the Conference will be seeking recipes for preemptive mitigation of business risks, as well as cost-effective solutions for dynamic growth of market applications of CCP in general economic practice.
The experience from our previous Conferences shows their unique networking capacity allowing for creating new business contacts, meeting other people from ash-sector and developing knowledge.
A tangible effect of the Conference is always the coming-together, exchanging views and ideas, and starting new forms of practical co-operation of the Polish scientific and industrial sectors. Therefore the Conference is also now a platform for presenting the scientific thought to sectoral specialists.
The proceedings shall allow to formulate conclusions and postulates to be presented to state administration and used in the activities of the Polish CCP Union for promotion and development of the CCP sector, such as:
- promoting the CCP-related science, knowledge and issues in order to change the mindset and the perception of anthropogenic minerals as valuable resources by society and authorities,
- activities for uniting and co-ordinating work and efforts of individual entities engaging in power and CCP sector, to create a significant potential for implementing rational ideas and regulations of importance for industrial and academic communities,
- promoting the idea of the Circular Economy as an opportunity for the power sector to approach CCPs as valuable anthropogenic resource for infrastructural construction,
- expanding the co-operation with the power sector in order to effectively influence the government in implementing the „secondary first” idea.
With best regards,
The Board of the Polish Coal Combustion Products Union
