ADA-ES Reaffirms Activated Carbon Market Expectations

ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADES) today reaffirmed its market expectations with regard to activated carbon (AC) for controlling mercury emission from coal-fired electrical generating units.

Dr. Michael D. Durham, President and CEO of ADA-ES, stated, “The mercury control market continues to grow as a result of existing regulations in over 20 states and Canadian provinces. Although a few analysts have predicted a potential over-supply of AC, we are not seeing that at all; rather, AC prices have been increasing, reflecting higher demand by the power industry. In fact, if there is a company that has any available supply of high quality AC in 2009 and beyond, foreign or domestic, we would certainly be interested in talking to them. We are confident that we could sell whatever volumes we can either produce or purchase.”
