The Coal Ash scientist and Coal Ash marketing company we cite initially herein have appeared previously in our reports, as in:
West Virginia Coal Association | Texas Converts Coal Ash to Cash | Research & Development;
which concerned "Boral Material Technologies Incorporated", of Texas, themselves a subsidiary of a larger Australian construction materials company, and several of their Coal Ash utilization technologies:

We've previously documented the work underway at Penn State University, to harness the power of a group of ancient, naturally-occurring bacteria known as "methanogens", and to use them to convert, on a practical basis, Carbon Dioxide into Methane.
Such Penn State-developed technology is exemplified in our report of:

Herein we submit yet more documentation of the facts that Coal Ash can serve as a property-enhancing component of Portland-type Cement and, after some processing, as an additional or alternative aggregate in Portland Cement Concrete.
First, both of the Coal Ash utilization technologies we submit herein were developed by scientists in the employ of W.R. Grace and Company; who, if you are unfamiliar with them, are most definitely not an insignificant or un-credible source.

In an earlier dispatch, now accessible via:
West Virginia Coal Association | Phillips CO2 + Coal + H2O = Methane | Research & Development;
we made report of:
"US Patent 4,011,058 - Production of Substitute Natural Gas from Gasification of Coal Char; 1977; Inventors: Marvin Johnson, et. al.; Assignee: Phillips Petroleum Company, OK; Abstract: A carbonaceous material is converted to a fuel gas which is fungible with natural gas by a combination of steps comprising gasifying the carbonaceous material in the presence of air and carbon dioxide, purifying the effluent stream and separating carbon monoxide therefore, catalytically reacting steam with the separated carbon monoxide and recovering a methane-rich product gas";
