Indonesian Coke

Coking coal, also known as metallurgical coal, is used to create coke, one of the key irreplaceable inputs for the production of steel. There are many varieties of coal in the world, ranging from brown coal or lignite to anthracite.

Coke is produced by heating coking coals in a coke oven in a reducing atmosphere.
