The purpose of the collection of papers in this volume is to review what can be said about the susceptibility to liquefaction of coals from different parts of the world. We and later authors will present data relative to coals of the areas with which we are familiar. However, with the Editor s approval, we are going to devote the first part of this paper to making some general remarks about coal geology and geochemistry, in the hope that this will provide a useful background to what comes later.
