The green change stakeholders forum ECOtransformation 2020 will be held in the city of Kyiv on November 20.

Donbasenergo was put up for the category "Implementation of eco-technologies, eco-innovations and ecostartups" for the project on recycling and reuse of ash and slag wastes it completed.
A special dry plaster mix for internal and external construction is being produced on the site of Sloviansk TPP by the people of Donbasenergospetsremont, Donbasenergo's structural unit. It's perlizol which contains fly ash and is used for construction, renovation and repair of heat insulation of power facilities with surface temperature as high as 600 °С.
Use of ash and slag wastes as secondary raw materials is a key item on the power engineering agenda of these recent years. With this approach, the amount of coal combustion waste build-up will go down and, consequently, its harmful environmental effects will likewise decrease; natural materials that can replace ash will be used sparingly; and a solid income line for power plants will be created.
