Established in 1987, the South African Coal Ash Association (SACAA) is the national industry body representing stakeholders involved in the responsible use of fly ash and coal combustion products across South Africa.
SACAA brings together industry, technical and regulatory stakeholders to advance best practice, environmental responsibility and sustainable infrastructure development.
The Association is member-based and governed by an elected council in accordance with its constitution and by-laws.
The South African Coal Ash (SACAA) was formed in 1987 and has been appointed by the Department of Enviromental Affairs to manage the Ash Phakisa Initiatives.
Fly ash plays an important role in South Africa’s infrastructure and construction sector. As a coal combustion product generated at power stations, it is widely used in concrete production, road works and other engineered applications.
By improving durability, reducing cement consumption and lowering carbon intensity in construction, fly ash supports more sustainable infrastructure development across the country.
SACAA promotes responsible management and best practice to ensure fly ash is utilised safely, effectively and in alignment with national standards.
SACAA provides access to technical research, industry papers and regulatory updates related to fly ash and coal combustion products in South Africa.
Through collaboration with industry and academic partners, the Association supports knowledge development, data sharing and informed decision-making across the sector.
The responsible use of fly ash requires alignment with environmental legislation, transport regulations and occupational health and safety standards in South Africa.
SACAA supports industry best practice by providing access to technical guidance, regulatory frameworks and compliance resources relevant to coal combustion products.
