proxy holder. Throughout this Proxy Statement, the terms &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;our Company&#148; refer to ADA-ES, Inc., and unless the context indicates otherwise, our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Board has fixed the close of business on April&nbsp;30, 2009, as the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On the record date, 6,930,327 shares of our Common Stock were issued and
outstanding, each of which entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters that may come before the meeting. We do not have any class of voting securities outstanding other than our Common Stock. An abstention or withholding authority to vote
will be counted as present for determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. If a quorum exists, actions or matters other than the election of the Board are approved if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing
the action unless a greater number is required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act or our Articles of Incorporation. Abstentions will not affect the election of directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If as of the record date your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then that firm or organization is the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the
annual meeting and you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in &#147;street name.&#148; If you are a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares held in your account. If
you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your brokerage firm, in its discretion, may vote your shares on routine matters or not vote your shares. The election of our directors and the proposal to ratify the appointment of our
independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year are considered routine matters. If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute &#147;broker
non-votes.&#148; A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial holder does not have discretionary voting power and does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes on a particular proposal
are considered present for purposes of determining a quorum, but will not be treated as shares present and entitled to vote on the proposal and accordingly will have no effect on the vote. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We invite beneficial owners to attend the annual meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and not a shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the
meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent and bring such proxy to the annual meeting. If you want to attend the meeting, but not vote, you must provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date,
such as your most recent account statement prior to April&nbsp;30, 2009, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker or other agent or other similar evidence of ownership. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A minimum of one-third of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding must be represented at the meeting in person or by proxy in order to constitute a quorum.
Cumulative voting is not allowed for any purpose. Assuming a quorum is present, the nine nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast will be elected as directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

pre-approval of audit services and services associated with SEC registration statements, other SEC filings and responses to SEC comment letters (Audit Fees) and services related to internal control reviews, internal control reporting requirements
and consultations with our management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions or events and the impact of rules, standards or interpretations by the SEC and other regulatory or standard-setting bodies (Audit-Related Fees) for each
12-month period within a range of approved fees. To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the law prohibits us from obtaining certain non-audit services from our independent accountant. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to approve
permissible services to its Chairman. The Chairman reports such pre-approvals to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the services provided by the independent accountants in 2008. None of
the services of the independent accountants in 2008 were of the type specified in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>EXECUTIVE

and Analysis </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our philosophy for executive compensation is set forth in a document entitled &#147;ADA-ES Executive Compensation Plan&#148; (the &#147;EC
Plan&#148;) which was adopted by the Board on November&nbsp;4, 2004. The EC Plan applies to the Executive Team, which includes the President/Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and all Vice Presidents
of the Company. Executives become eligible to participate in this plan after completing 12 months of continuous service with ADA-ES. Participation may be modified based on the Board&#146;s approval. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee establishes the base salary for all executive officers. The CEO makes recommendations as to base salary of all other executive officers to the
Committee. Base salary is defined as ongoing, cash compensation paid bi-weekly based on such factors as job responsibilities, external competitiveness, and the individual&#146;s experience and performance. Pay ranges are set based on the local
market for similar positions, with consideration given to national rates of pay for employees serving similar functions in comparable companies. Base salary is typically increased annually based on cost of labor/living increases. In determining
appropriate merit increases, we consider the actual market change for various job families in addition to published local CPI-U data. The market change is determined by tracking the year-over-year change in the median rate for a given position or
job family using regional salary surveys. ADA-ES attempts to ensure middle market pay for solid performers and consider higher levels of pay for outstanding performers. ADA-ES does not intend to be a market leader in base compensation. A decision to
materially increase or decrease compensation would be based on the aforementioned factors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Annual performance incentives are designed to motivate the
management team to achieve critical short-term goals, typically one to two years, which are expected to contribute to the long-term health and value of the organization. Incentives may be paid in cash or equity as determined by the Board. We expect
that for the next few years, payment will be primarily in stock, through restricted shares. We generally grant options or restricted stock awards to new executives at the Board meeting following the commencement of employment. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Incentive amounts are set based on organization level and market practices. The performance metrics under the EC Plan focus on specific business objectives set during
the first half of each year. Objectives are those quantitative metrics, such as revenue, EBITDA, or market share, which management and the Board determine are most important to the short and long term health and value of the organization. Potential
incentive amounts for 2007 and 2008 performance were established at 50% and 40% of base salary for the CEO and other members of the executive team, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2004, we adopted the Executive Stock Option Plan (the &#147;2004 ESO Plan&#148;) discussed below, and granted all
200,000 options authorized under such plan to our then five executive officers, expecting to utilize the acceleration of vesting of such options, for so long as they are available, as the means to pay any incentive amounts earned by the executive
officers pursuant to the EC Plan who are also covered in the 2004 ESO Plan for the following several years. To determine the value of each vested option share considered for accelerated vesting, the exercise price of $8.60 per share, which was the
fair value on the date of grant, was subtracted from the average closing stock price for the month of December of that year. As a result, for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 options were vested in payment of incentive amounts earned for those years.
No incentive amounts were earned under our EC Plan by any of the executive officers in 2007. Because the exercise prices of the outstanding options far exceeded our stock price, in early 2009, the Board vested all remaining outstanding stock options
including those remaining in the 2004 ESO Plan. We have not granted options to the executive officers who received options under the 2004 ESO Plan since 2004. Our share-based compensation, including options granted under the 2003 Plan and the 2004
ESO Plan, is accounted for under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123R (See Footnote 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item&nbsp;8 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008). </FONT></P>

to work diligently to attain certain milestones related to progress on the development, construction and operation of our planned &#147;Greenfield&#148; activated carbon production facility. A set number of shares are reserved for award to each
recipient, and a portion of those shares will &#147;vest&#148; upon attainment of each defined milestone. In no event will the shares attributable to a milestone ever vest in the recipient if the milestone is not attained by a certain date.

no shares will ever vest for that milestone and all shares attributed to that milestone will be eligible for repurchase by the Company for $.01 per share. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

issuance under the plan. In general, all options granted under the 2003 Plan expire ten years from the date of grant unless otherwise specified by the Company&#146;s Board. The exercise price of options was determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Board at the time the option was granted of not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date the option is granted. During the first quarter of 2006, 19,900 options were granted under this plan. This plan
was replaced by the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan described below, and as a result, 148,506 shares of Common Stock that were originally reserved for issuance upon exercise of options grantable under the 2003 Plan were removed from the 2003 Plan. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, 72,810 options remained outstanding and 84,237 options were exercisable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>2004 ESO Plan </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During 2004, we adopted the 2004 ESO Plan, which did not require shareholder approval. The 2004 ESO Plan authorized the grant of up to 200,000 options to purchase shares
of our common stock to our executive officers. The 2004 ESO Plan is intended to promote our growth and profitability by awarding options to purchase our common stock in exchange for services performed and to be performed in the future. Options
granted under the 2004 ESO Plan are generally intended to be non-qualified stock options (&#147;NQSO&#148;) for federal income tax purposes. The 2004 ESO Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee. In general, the exercise price of an option
will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted and will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the option is granted. Under the 2004 ESO Plan, the grant of
options is limited to 60,000&nbsp;per individual. The options are exercisable over a 10-year period based on a vesting schedule, typically between 5% and 20%&nbsp;per year, which may be accelerated based on performance of the individual recipients
as determined by our Compensation Committee. During 2004, all 200,000 options were granted under the 2004 ESO Plan to five executive officers, each of whom is a full-time employee. In January 2005 and 2006 and in February 2007, our Compensation
Committee authorized the accelerated vesting of 27,080 options, 38,428 options, and 17,258 options, respectively, under the 2004 ESO Plan based on performance metrics in the EC Plan that were met and other discretionary amounts. No accelerated
vesting was authorized for 2007 performance as noted above. During 2007, 7,057 previously vested options were exercised. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, 166,663 options remain outstanding and exercisable under this plan. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During 2004, we adopted the 2004 Stock Compensation Plan #2 (the &#147;2004 Plan&#148;) for the issuance of shares and the grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock to our non-management directors. The
2004 Plan was approved by our shareholders at our 2005 Annual Meeting. The 2004 Plan is intended to compensate our non-management directors by awarding shares and options to purchase shares for services they rendered during 2004 and 2005 and will
continue to render in subsequent years. The 2004 Plan provided for the award of 603 shares of our common stock per individual non-management director (4,221 shares in total), and the grant of 5,000 options per individual non-management director
(35,000 in total), all of which were formally granted and issued in 2005 after approval of the 2004 Plan by our shareholders. The stock awards and vested portion of the stock option grants to non-management directors represent a portion of
compensation for services performed from October 2004 through September 2005. The option exercise price of $13.80 per share for the stock options granted on November&nbsp;4, 2004 was the market price on the date of the grant. The options are
exercisable over a period of five years and will vest over a three-year period, one-third each year for continued service on the Board. If such service is terminated, the non-vested portion of the option is forfeited. In 2006, 15,000 of such options
were forfeited after the resignation of three directors. During 2007, 985 of such options were exercised and 4,015 of options were forfeited after the death of a director. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, 13,333 options remain outstanding and
exercisable under this plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>2005 Directors&#146; Compensation Plan </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

non-management directors. The 2005 Plan was approved by our shareholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting. The 2005 Plan is intended to advance our interests by providing eligible non-management directors an opportunity to acquire or increase an equity
interest in the Company, create an increased incentive to expend maximum effort for our growth and success and encourage such eligible individuals to continue to service the Company. The 2005 Plan provides a portion of the annual compensation to our
non-management directors in the form of awards of shares of common stock and vesting of options to purchase common stock for services performed for the Company. Under the 2005 Plan, the award of stock is limited to 1,000 shares per individual per
year, and the grant of options is limited to 5,000&nbsp;per individual in total. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan totals 90,000 shares (50,000 in the form of stock awards and 40,000 in the form
of options). The exercise price is the market price on the date of grant, the shares of common stock underlying the option will vest at a rate of no more than 1,667 shares per annual period per individual, and any unvested shares of Stock that are
outstanding at the date the individual is no longer a director are forfeited. Shares may be issued and options may be granted under the 2005 Plan only to non-management directors of the Company or its subsidiaries. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2005 Plan will terminate ten years after the date of its adoption, if not earlier terminated by the Board. It may be amended, modified or terminated at any time if
and when it is advisable in the absolute discretion of the Board, although certain amendments are subject to approval of regulatory bodies and our shareholders. No such amendment may adversely affect any options previously granted under the Plan

of the seven non-management directors of the Company (a total of 7,000 shares of common stock) representing a portion of their compensation for the period from October 2005 through September 2006. In August 2006, the Board granted options to
purchase 5,000 shares each or a total of 15,000 shares of common stock to the new directors representing a portion of their compensation, which vest at a rate of 33%&nbsp;per year. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, 20,000 options remain outstanding and
exercisable under this plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>2007 Plan </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During
2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the &#147;2007 Plan&#148;), which replaces the 2003 Plan. The 2007 Plan authorizes the issuance to employees, directors and consultants of up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock, either as
restricted stock grants or to underlie options to purchase shares of our Common Stock. Under the 2007 Plan, the award of stock is limited to not more than 30,000 shares per individual per year with a maximum of 10,000 shares grantable in any year to
non-management Directors. In general, all options granted under the 2007 Plan will expire ten years from the date of grant unless otherwise specified by the Board. The exercise price for options granted under the 2007 Plan will be the market price
on the date of grant and the shares of Common Stock underlying the option will vest on the passage of specified times following the date of grant, the occurrence of one of more events, the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions
specified by the Board. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, no options have been granted under the 2007 Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In September and December 2007, the Board awarded

received a restricted stock award based on a percent of their current annual salary. The purchase price for restricted stock was $0.01 per share and the restricted stock vests over a five year period on an annual basis or on attainment of specific
milestones. In October 2007, seven employees opted to exchange 42,700 outstanding options for 3,389 shares of restricted stock. The exchange did not result in any stock option modification costs. Unvested shares of restricted stock are subject to
forfeiture upon termination of employment with the Company. In September 2007, a total of 27,175 shares were granted with 502 shares vesting. In December 2007, 5,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded to a new employee upon commencement of
employment in addition to the normal award based on a percentage of their starting salary, which vests over a two-year period. The stock based compensation related to the restricted stock award was $7.76 per share. The total fair value of the grants
was $266,000. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007, we recognized $6,000 of compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted stock. In January 2008, 5,388 fully vested shares of stock were issued to seven executive officers in connection with the
2007 Discretionary Award. In March 2008, in connection with the Greenfield Incentive Program, 172,500 shares of our common stock were reserved for award, and 110,043 shares of restricted stock were granted, to four of our executive officers and an
