This book investigates the spontaneous ignition of coal and the subsequent loss of energy. The author examines why the preservation of coal is a topic of great and growing importance, due to increased demand from various sectors and an increased focus on energy security, as well as from a perspective of national and global economies. The author argues that the spontaneous combustion of coal is only one element of a larger problem: a general loss in the heating value of coal over time. Through careful examination, the author explores the relationship between both spontaneous ignition and more general loss of coal energy, and external factors such as temperature and moisture, and internal factors such as the type of the coal itself. The author's insights will be of interest to coal industry professionals, chemical engineers, and anyone with an interest in energy, energy security, and the preservation of fossil fuels.
