                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                              ---------------------

           ADA-ES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS; REVENUES INCREASE 43%


Littleton, CO - November 7, 2006 - ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADES) today announced
financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2006. See attached tables.

For the third quarter, total revenues increased 43% to $4.4 million, and sales
in the Company's mercury emission control segment grew 68% to $4.1 million as
compared to the third quarter of 2005. Gross margin was 29%, versus 40% in the
third quarter of last year, in line with the Company's expectation to experience
lower margins in its mercury emission control segment. General and
administrative expenses increased primarily due to the expensing of previously
deferred charges incurred earlier in the year related to the Company's M&A
activities that were determined not to have future value ($412,000), the
implementation of stock option expensing per SFAS 123R ($95,000), expenses
resulting from additional employees (an $80,000 increase), and higher legal and
director fees and expenses incurred to maintain compliance (a $50,000 increase).
The Company reported a net loss of $128,000 or $0.02 per diluted share compared
to net income of $248,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the same period last
year.

For the nine-month period, total revenues rose 47% to $11.4 million, and sales
in the Company's mercury emission control segment increased 64% to $9.9 million
as compared to the 2005 period. Due to the margins and the expenses outlined
above, the Company reported an operating loss of $39,000 compared to operating
income of $411,000 in the first nine months of 2005. Net income was $154,000 or
$0.03 per diluted share versus $450,000 or $0.09 per diluted share. Net earnings
per diluted share were calculated on 16% more shares outstanding due to the
successful completion of a 790,000-share private equity placement in October
2005.

Dr. Mike Durham, President of ADA-ES, stated, "Our solid revenue growth for the
quarter was driven by the continued strength in our mercury emission control
segment. With regard to this segment, over the past three months since reporting
our second quarter results, we have been awarded two contracts for mercury
systems - one for a new power plant in the Western U.S., and one for an existing
plant in the East. The market for mercury control systems continues to pick up
momentum. As a result of impending regulations and consent decrees, we are
receiving requests for quotations from utilities for multiple control systems.
We expect several utilities to award multiple unit contracts in the next few
months."

Dr. Durham continued, "We are also encouraged by progress made in our other key
growth area, Refined Coal. Yesterday we announced the formation of ADA-NexCoal,
LLC, a 50:50 Joint Venture with NexGen to produce this product, which we expect
will qualify for the tax credits provided for under Section 45 of the Internal
Revenue Code. NexGen has paid ADA-ES $1 million to date, and has the right to
maintain a 50% position in the JV by paying ADA-ES an additional $4 million,
payable in 8 quarterly payments of $500,000 each, beginning in the 4th quarter
of 2007.

"The Act provides for a tax credit with a current value of approximately $5.60
per ton of Refined Coal, which can be earned for a period of ten years ending in
or before 2019. The ADA-ES Refined Coal technology builds upon ADA-ES' patented
chemical developed for slagging boilers with ADA-ES expertise in sorbent-based
mercury control technology. We believe that the technology is applicable to a
target market of approximately 60 million tons of Refined Coal per year. We have
conducted two successful tests and demonstrated the ability to meet the emission
control performance required to qualify for the Section 45 tax credit.

"In addition to our two key growth areas, mercury control and Refined Coal, we
continue to pursue other clean energy technologies. We recently announced a
project with Hythane Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eden Energy Ltd.,
associated with the development of blended hydrogen-methane fuels known as
"Hythane(R)" for motor vehicles. We are also making progress on funding to
support the development of technology to capture carbon dioxide from coal-fired
power plants, and hope to make an announcement in this regard in the near-term."

Dr. Durham concluded, "We expect to achieve 35% revenue growth for 2006, up from
our previous projection of 30% top-line growth. We are extremely optimistic
about the Company's long-term prospects, based on our position as a market
leader in the emerging mercury control market, where we are now receiving
requests from utilities for quotations covering multiple control systems, as
well as our progress in refined coal."
