Power Minister R K Singh today launched a web-based monitoring system and a fly-ash mobile application. It will act as an interface between producers and consumers. The ASH TRACK Mobile App will manage 200 million tonnes of fly ash by tracking coal-based power plants situated within 100 km and 300 km from given location and availability of fly ash. <br/><br/>The App gives plant-wise, utility-wise and State-wise ash utilisation status in the country. These platforms will enable better management of the ash produced by thermal power plants by providing an interface between fly ash producers and potential ash users such as – road contractors and cement plants. <br/><br/>Speaking on the occasion, Mr Singh said, proper management of fly ash is important not only for the environment but for government also, as the ash produced by power plants occupies a lot of land space. He said, at present 63 per cent of the fly ash is being utilised and target is for 100 per cent utilisation.
