Fly ash is a by-product of coal combustion in thermal power plants, and India produces over 100 million tonnes of fly ash annually, the disposal of which being a growing problem in the country.

The overall goal of this CIDA/Natural Resources Canada/CII project, done in partnership with other Indian Agencies, is to strengthen India's ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to promote sustainable development in India by enhancing the capacity and willingness of key stakeholders to effectively use higher volumes of fly ash in concrete construction. In order to achieve this objective, the project intends to transfer to India the High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete technology, which tends to minimize the amount of ordinary portland cement required to produce high-quality concrete.
