The Potential for Industrial Waste Processing to Meet Both Carbon Storage and Critical Mineral Goals in Pennsylvania
This project combines experimental and geospatial analysis to characterize fly ash for carbon storage and mineral extraction, and map community proximity to extraction sites and potential environmental risks. The project’s outcome aims to inform policies by balancing economic benefits against community impacts and environmental justice concerns.
