Coking vs. Thermal Coal

Coking Coal (also known as Metallurgical Coal) and Thermal Coal (also known as Steam Coal), have similiar geological origins. However, their uses and markets are very different. By definition, Coking Coal is a type of coal that meets the requirements of making "coke". This type of coal must have low sulfur and ash content and should be able to form a coke which can support the charge of limestone and iron ore in a blast furnace. Thermal coal is a type of coal that is primarily used to generate heat.

Thermal Coal has lower calorific value and carbon content than has a higher moisture value than Coking Coal. While Thermal Coal is used for the production of energy, Coking Coal is primarily used in the production of coke, which is an integral part of the steel mill process.

Coking Coal can be classified into three major categories:

1. HARD COKING COAL (forms high-strength coke)
2. SEMI-SOFT COKING COAL
3. PCI COAL

PCI coal is not typically classified as "Coking Coal", rather it used for its heat value and the fact that one can inject it into a blast furnace in replacement of expensive coke. Thermal Coal can be considered as coal grade between "Bituminous Coal" and "Anthracite Coal".
