About Acids 2 Value

  • The "Acids 2 Value" project originated with a vision to eradicate environmental racism, ensuring that the burdens of pollution and resource allocation are not shouldered by the marginalized few. Our purpose is to innovatively use technology to transform Acid Mine Drainage from an environmental liability into sustainable, equitable, and valuable solutions.

What is Acid Mine Drainage? Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is a significant environmental issue that arises from the mining of coal, precious metals, and other minerals.
Project Goals Our goals include mapping AMD sources, developing sustainable treatment technologies, revenue generation from AMD, economic analysis and tool development, as well as community welfare improvement.

Project Impact The impact of our project will be felt across four levels - environmental, socio-economic, economic, and policy and strategy.
AMD in the A2V Process Our approach to AMD relies on community engagement and the strategic use of geospatial information systems (GIS) to co-locate beneficial waste products near AMD sites.
