How do i find buyers for Coal Fly Ash and Bottom Ash
My uncle is the managing director of a major coal power plant in Indonesia. Ever since the government legalized the utilization of Fly Ash and Bottom Ash a few years ago, we've been looking at a literal goldmine. They have decades' worth of it hundreds of thousands of tons just sitting on-site.
I want to monetize this, but local demand in my province is basically too little, cannot really move it to another province because we'll lose the pricing. I’m looking into the export market (cement factories, construction, etc.), but I have zero experience with bulk commodities or international logistics.
* How do I find international buyers or brokers for FABA?
* What does the shipping logistics look like for thousands of tons of ash?
* What kind of certifications or testing do global buyers usually look for?
Any advice from commodity traders or logistics experts would be awesome. Thanks!
