In India there is a huge demand (quite outstripping supply) for flyash bricks, made from the industrial byproduct of coal burning furnaces (which supply >50% of India's power supply). They closely resemble the properties of volcanic ash.
The supply is likely to go down even further as we transition into gas furnaces and nuclear power.
