Executive-facing, commercial-first CCR solution

Coal ash beneficiation designed to reduce CCR cost exposure and long-tail environmental liability.

DF1 Metals is developing an enclosed, controlled beneficiation pathway for coal combustion residuals (CCR). Our focus is commercial: align with your disposition/closure reality and structure engagements around measurable economics.

Commercial structure (high level)

We structure proposals to be finance-friendly: per-ton service pricing and/or avoided-cost sharing where appropriate, with clear boundaries for responsibility and performance criteria.

Executive-level objective
Reduce total CCR cost-of-ownership and improve predictability.
Designed for “pain” sites
Closure pressure, high disposal cost, constrained capacity, or off-spec CCR.
Low-friction next step
Email-based fit check → confidential overview → pilot path if aligned.
What we request (email)
  • CCR volumes and current disposition pathway
  • Closure status / schedule constraints
  • All-in $/ton range (handling + hauling + disposal)
  • Contract constraints (marketer, disposal, closure contractor)

Value levers

DF1’s commercial focus is to move the needle on bottom-line CCR economics by improving predictability, reducing disposal-related cost exposure, and supporting closure outcomes where needed.

Near-term economics

  • Per-ton service pricing tied to defined scope
  • Optional avoided-cost sharing (aligned incentives)
  • Commercial decision path (fit check → pilot → terms)

Long-tail risk reduction

  • Align with closure-by-removal or disposition programs
  • Defined boundaries for chain-of-custody and responsibilities
  • Support schedule certainty and compliance outcomes

What DF1 does (high-level)

DF1 is developing an enclosed beneficiation approach for CCR streams. Project-specific details are shared under appropriate confidentiality terms.

Best-fit sites

The strongest candidates typically have a clear CCR “pain driver” that impacts cost, schedule, and/or liability.

Common pain driver
Closure schedule pressure
Deadlines, contractor scope creep, and limited outlets.
Common pain driver
High all-in $/ton cost
Handling + hauling + disposal economics that hit the P&L.
Common pain driver
Off-spec / stranded CCR
Limited market pathways; needs a commercial solution.
