The effect of using biomass fly ash (BFA) on the quality, durability and sustainability of mortars was studied. Using high amounts of BFA does not lead to a production of mortars with better performance than a plain cement mortar. However, when BFA is used in small amounts mixed with coal fly ash, mortars with similar compressive strength, to that of a cement mortar, but with less carbonation and with better environmental performance are obtained. Using BFA in the concrete industry can lead to a minimisationof issues related to the high volume fly ash concrete.
