Objectives
Oil, natural gas and coal are the main forms of fossil hydrocarbon type fuels that contribute to more than 80% of world energy consumption and it seems that at least throughout the most of this century they will remain as the main sources of energy. With increase in demand of energy, economical production of clean and high quality fuels from available resources is desirable more than ever before. In addition, biofuels are a promising future fuel and will play an important role in providing energy when fossil fuel production cannot match the world demand. The objective of IJOGCT is to provide a single reference that addresses all issues related to fossil type fuels and their derived products especially with regard to environmental and economical constraints as well as biofuels.
Readership
IJOGCT provides a unique resource to professionals, academics, researchers, and managers working in the fields of petroleum oil, natural gas and coal and biofuel industries, businesses and management from all over the world.
Contents
IJOGCT publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, industrial reports, management reports, book reviews, research notes, and news. Special issues to important topics related to oil, gas and coal technology and related industries, biofuels, businesses and policies will be published.

Burying the carbon
13 September, 2024
Odd as it may seem, coal seams that cannot be mined might provide an underground storage medium for carbon dioxide produced by industries burning coal above ground. Research in the International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology has undertaken controlled experiments designed to simulate the deep geological environments where carbon dioxide might be trapped as a way to reduce the global carbon footprint and ameliorate some of the impact of our burning fossil fuels. Coal seams represent a potential repository for long-term storage of carbon dioxide sequestered from flue gases, as they can trap a lot of carbon dioxide gas in a small volume. Major Mabuza of the University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, Kasturie Premlall of Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, and Mandlenkosi G.R. Mahlobo of the University of South Africa, Florida, South Africa, subjected coals to a synthetic flue gas for 90 days at high pressure (9.0 megapascals) and a mildly high raised temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius. These conditions were intended to replicate the pressures and temperatures found deep underground, providing a realistic model for how coal might behave when used for carbon dioxide sequestration [...]
