What's CARRC?
The Coal Ash Resources Research Consortium® (CARRC®) (pronounced "cars") is an international consortium of industry and government representatives, scientists, and engineers working together toward a common goal: to advance coal ash utilization. Specifically, CARRC works to solve coal combustion byproduct (CCB)-related problems and promote the environmentally safe, technically sound, and economically viable utilization and disposal of these highly complex materials.
Founded in 1985, CARRC is housed at the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC). Throughout the years, numerous advancements have been made in the area of coal ash utilization, including the following:
- Generation of scientific and engineering information applicable to CCB regulations and specifications
- Development of improved CCB characterization methods
- Demonstration of new and improved CCB use applications
- Transfer of technical information and technology
