GENUINE OXBOW
PRODUCTS
Oxbow and its affiliates have been active suppliers of energy products for more than 100 years. Today, the company produces, handles, transports and markets more than 20 million tons of coal and petroleum coke per year. Oxbow purchases petroleum coke from major refineries in the US, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Oxbow owns and operates a coal mine in the US and purchases third party coal in the US, Latin America, Europe and Asia. The company utilizes a network of Oxbow-owned and third party terminals to store, crush, blend and deliver to producers of electric power, steel, cement and other vital industrial markets.
Petroleum coke is a by-product of the oil refining process. As refineries worldwide seek to operate more efficiently and extract more gasoline and other high value fuels from each barrel of crude oil, a solid carbon material known as petcoke is produced.
​
The chemical and physical characteristics of petcoke are a function of the crude oil and refining technology used by the refinery. Petcoke can be hard or relatively soft. Physically, petcoke can resemble large sponges with numerous pores, or it can resemble small spheres, ranging in size from a grain of sand to a large marble. Chemically, petcoke can include a variety of elements and metals in a wide range of concentrations. Depending on these physical and chemical characteristics, petcoke is typically used in either an energy application, as a source of BTU's or in an industrial application, as a source of carbon.
​
Fuel grade petcoke represents roughly 80 percent of worldwide petcoke production, and Oxbow is the worldwide leader in fuel grade petcoke sourcing and sales, handling more than 11 million tons per year. Oxbow sources petcoke from every major refining company in the world, including ExxonMobil, Valero, Chevron, and British Petroleum.
Fuel grade petcoke is typically very high in heating value (BTUs per pound), produces virtually no ash when burned, and is most commonly used in electric power plants and cement kilns.
As a carbon source, petroleum coke is used to manufacture:
-
Energy
-
Steel
-
Aluminum
-
Automobiles
-
High-impact plastics

Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock made up mostly of carbon. It is a fossil fuel that is abundant throughout the United States. Its origins began millions of years ago and are the altered remains of prehistoric vegetation that accumulated over time. These prehistoric plants were buried with the solar energy they once absorbed and over time the plant material was subjected to high temperature and pressures, eventually forming the energy source we know as coal.
​
Oxbow Carbon provides bituminous coal which is the most common type mined in the United States and the type of coal primarily used to generate electric power.
Uses of coal:
-
Electricity generation
-
Steel production
-
Activated carbon
-
Metallurgical coke
