Coking Coal
Low-ash, low-sulphur bituminous coal carbonised into coke for use in the blast furnace. Functions as a chemical reductant rather than a fuel: its carbon is consumed reducing iron oxide and leaves as process CO2, so it is accounted as a material input, not fuel combustion.
Also known as: Metallurgical Coal, Met Coal, Coke
