EXHIBIT 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ADA-ES ANNOUNCES GAINS IN REVENUE AND NET INCOME
FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR

LITTLETON, CO - March 10, 2005 - ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADES) today announced
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.
See attached tables.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights - versus fiscal 2003 fourth quarter
* Total revenues rose 53% to $2.3 million.
* Operating income was up 97% to $126,000.
* Net income before tax increased 101% to $159,000, from $79,000 in the 2003
quarter.  Net income was $97,000 as compared to $172,000 (including a $93,000
tax benefit) in the 2003 quarter.  Net earnings per share were $.02,
calculated on 33% more shares outstanding due to the successful completion of
a one million-share private equity placement in August 2004, compared to $.05
per share in the fourth quarter of last year.

2004 Financial Highlights - versus fiscal 2003
* Total revenues were up 44% to $8.4 million.
* Operating income grew 20% to $383,000.
* Net income before tax rose 26% to $398,000, from net income before tax of
$316,000 in 2003.  Net income was $336,000 compared to net income of $409,000
last year (including a $93,000 tax benefit).  Net earnings per share were
$.08, calculated on 21% more shares outstanding due to the aforementioned
private placement, compared to $.12 per share in 2003.


Dr. Michael Durham, President of ADA-ES, stated, "Our first full year
operating as an independent Company was a year of significant growth and
development.  We   more than met our previously announced revenue goal for
2004, which was growth of 30%.  The 44% increase in 2004 revenues was driven
primarily by our mercury emission control segment, which grew 73% stemming
from our involvement in various full-scale government and industry supported
demonstrations, and work from our new mercury emission measurement segment."

Dr. Durham further stated, "These financial results were achieved while
making a significant investment in R&D, which produced considerable
improvements in our technology.  During 2004, we participated in eight full-
scale mercury emission control programs.  In the second half of the year, we
successfully completed two projects that demonstrated three different
technologies for significantly reducing mercury emissions from coal-fired
plants.  These two projects demonstrated sustained reductions of greater than
90% of mercury emissions on difficult Western coal applications.  We believe
these projects are key to positioning ADA-ES as a market leader as they allow
us to 1) gain experience working hand in hand with our eventual customers
developing and demonstrating the technology, 2) expand our intellectual
property portfolio, and 3) train and hire new engineers.  The combination of
experience and performance data allows us to provide guaranteed commercial
mercury control systems to respond to state regulations, new coal-fired power
plants and pending federal regulations.  In this regard, we have submitted
bids for over 80 commercial mercury emission control systems."

Dr. Durham continued, "We also achieved two corporate milestones during 2004.
In August, we completed an $8.0 million private equity placement that
expanded our institutional shareholder base and strengthened our balance
sheet, an important tool for winning new contracts.  The financing also
enabled us to meet the listing requirements for Nasdaq, on which our stock
began trading in October."

Dr. Durham concluded, "Our strategic relationships with leading companies
whose products and systems fit well with our technologies and capabilities,
coupled with our expertise and industry position, are enabling us to
capitalize on the numerous opportunities in the mercury control industry.
Based on current projects, pending contracts and expected awards of
commercial contracts, we anticipate revenue growth of 30% in 2005, driven
primarily by our mercury emission control segment.  We remain extremely
optimistic about the Company's business prospects for 2005 and beyond."
