Coal Combustion and Gasification Products is a unique peer-reviewed journal designed specifically to communicate coal ash research and emerging new technologies. CCGP is a joint venture between the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (UK CAER) and the American Coal Ash Association (ACAA). The organizations' primary goal is to bring together research that currently is published in disparate sources.
CCGP is an international on-line journal encompassing the science and technology of the production, sustainable utilization, and environmentally-sound handling of the byproducts of coal combustion and gasification. This includes fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, gasification residue, and byproducts from coal-fuel blends, flue-gas desulfurization products, and related materials.

Ash at Work CCGP Insert - Issue 1 (2010)
Expected contributions include papers describing original research results; proceedings of symposia; surveys; book reviews; overviews of recent literature; and letters to the editor. While the emphasis will be on products from coal combustion and gasification, products of the co-combustion of tires, petroleum coke, biomass, etc., with coal will also be considered. Above all, a contribution accepted for publication should be a novel, original, concise, and well-written advancement in the science and/or engineering of coal combustion and gasification products.
CCGP Journal is now Accepting Submissions!
- If you would like to submit to CCGP, your contribution is welcome.
- WOCA 2009 Presenters are encouraged to submit a manuscript based upon their WOCA 2009 proceedings paper.

CCGP appears in two complementary formats. The electronic journal will host full-text papers and previously unpublished articles. Access is free of charge, and there are no charges to authors for page fees or inclusion of supplementary data or color graphics/photos. A printed variation, not a full replica, will be published as an insert for the ACAA’s magazine, Ash at Work, published twice a year with a circulation of over 3000. The Ash at Work insert will present shorter material, including abstracts of articles appearing on-line and short articles communicating important research findings.
Publishing with Ash at Work will provide immediate visibility for Coal Combustion and Gasification Products and enhance the impact of the on-line full-text papers.
The journal’s editorial board consists of experts from academia, industry, and government who will provide input and reviews of the science and engineering of ash.
