FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ADA-ES REPORTS CONTINUED GROWTH IN THIRD QUARTER

Littleton, CO - November 10, 2005 - ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADES) today announced
financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2005.  See attached tables.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights - versus fiscal 2004 third quarter
*   Total revenues increased 10% to $3.1 million.
*   Operating income was up 35% to $294,000.
*   Net income rose 12% to $248,000 or $0.05 per diluted share.

Nine-month Financial Highlights - versus fiscal 2004 first nine months
*   Total revenues rose 26% to $7.8 million.
*   Operating income was up 60% to $411,000.
*   Net income increased 88% to $450,000 or $0.09 per diluted share.

Net income reflects tax provisions of $116,000 and $162,000 in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2005, respectively, versus zero in the
comparable periods of 2004.

Dr. Mike Durham, President of ADA-ES, stated, "We achieved steady revenue
growth in the quarter despite the comparison to very strong performance in our
mercury emission control segment in the third quarter of last year.  We are
also pleased with the Company's operating performance, with operating income
rising at a much faster rate than revenues in the quarter and year-to-date."

Dr. Durham continued, "Since our last quarterly results news release, we
secured our second and third commercial contracts for mercury control systems,
through which we are supplying activated carbon injection equipment each
valued at over $1 million to an existing coal-fired plant and one being built
in the Midwest.  Additionally, in partnership with NORIT Americas, we are now
offering proven mercury sorbents to the coal-fired power industry through
long-term supply contracts.  The sorbents will be used to capture mercury from
flue gas in the new systems.  NORIT's newest commercial product is effective
on a number of Western Coals, demonstrating greater than 90% mercury capture.
At the same time, the product reduces mercury control costs by a factor of
three or more."

Dr. Durham concluded, "We expect revenue growth of in excess of 20% for this
year as a whole, based on current contracts and other anticipated work in the
fourth quarter.  Looking further ahead, our high level of bid and proposal
activity suggests additional commercial contracts in 2006.  In order to
further capitalize on the opportunities being created by the rapidly
developing commercial mercury control market, we decided to strengthen the
Company's financial position by raising private equity to supplement cash flow
produced by operations.  With the proceeds from this recent private placement,
we now have over $20 million of capital available that will afford us a great
deal of flexibility to enhance growth and capture further value throughout the
various segments of the growing commercial mercury control market.  Areas in
which we are currently engaged or are pursuing include engineering services,
equipment supply and participation in fulfilling the need for expanded
activated carbon production."
