Business Wire

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. -- April 17, 2012

ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADES) (“ADA” or the “Company”) today announced the
relocation of its corporate headquarters to 9135 S. Ridgeline Blvd, Suite 200,
Highlands Ranch, Colorado, 80129. ADA will occupy the entire second floor
(approx. 30,000 sq. ft) of the office building, which represents a significant
increase in work space and allows the Company to consolidate personnel to a
single building from five separate buildings at its former location in
Littleton, Colorado. The move will accommodate ADA’s anticipated growth as it
builds infrastructure to meet customer-driven demands for emissions control
technology and services.

The new location features larger and more efficient office spaces, meeting
areas, as well as updated telecommunications and teleconferencing technology,
and a freshly redesigned work environment. The facility will comfortably
accommodate up to 100 employees and will also serve as the base for future
on-site seminars, training sessions, board meetings, and Company meetings. The
new location is in close proximity to major transportation facilities, hotels,
and local businesses. Additionally, ADA has the first right of refusal to
adjacent office space within the same building should the Company have further
need of expansion.

Dr. Michael Durham, President and CEO of ADA stated, “The new space allows us
to accommodate for recent rapid growth of the Company as well as extensive
additional growth expected to result from new EPA regulations limiting
emissions from coal-fired boilers. The new regulations, which were finalized
on April 16, 2012, will require 1200 coal-fired boilers to reduce emissions of
mercury and acid gases. ADA has several different control technologies to help
our power customers meet these regulations. Since 2010, we have seen our staff
increase by greater than 65%. We expect additional growth in the future and we
also expect our revenues to grow from $20 mm in 2010 to over $200 million by
the end of 2014.”

Dr. Durham concluded by inviting ADA’s friends, vendors, shareholders and
customers to an Open-House of its new facility on May 11, 2012, from 4:00 to
7:00 pm. For additional information regarding this event, please contact Marki
Morison-Gille at 303-737-1727 extension 8868.

ADA currently has 90 employees and regional offices in Illinois, Maryland,
Georgia and Pennsylvania.

About ADA-ES

ADA-ES is a leader in clean coal technology and the associated specialty
chemicals, serving the coal-fueled power plant industry. Our proprietary
environmental technologies and specialty chemicals enable power plants to
enhance existing air pollution control equipment, minimize mercury, CO2 and
other emissions, maximize capacity, and improve operating efficiencies, to
meet the challenges of existing and pending emission control regulations.

With respect to mercury emissions:

  * We supply activated carbon (“AC”) injection and Dry Sorbent Injection
    (“DSI”) systems, mercury measurement instrumentation, and related
    services.
  * Under an exclusive development and licensing agreement with Arch Coal, we
    are developing and commercializing an enhanced Powder River Basin (“PRB”)
    coal with reduced emissions of mercury and other metals.
  * Through our consolidated subsidiary, Clean Coal Solutions, LLC (“CCS”), we
    provide our patented Refined Coal (“RC”) CyClean^TM technology to enhance
    combustion of and reduce emissions from burning PRB coals in cyclone
    boilers and our patent pending M45^TM technology for other types of coal
    and boilers. Both technologies reduce emissions of NOx and mercury in coal
    fired boilers.

In addition, we are developing CO2 emissions technologies under projects
funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) and industry participants.
