Description

Coke production is a crucial industrial process used in the steel manufacturing industry. The coke produced from the coking of coking coal is primarily utilized as a fuel and a reducing agent in blast furnaces during the production of iron. This process is vital for establishing the necessary temperatures and chemical environment to facilitate the reduction of iron ore to iron. When utilizing this data set for the coke production process, it is important to consider the technological applicability pertaining to the type of coking coal and the specific coking technologies employed. Users should note whether this data set represents a specific grade of coking coal and should apply this information accordingly in their life cycle assessment. Additionally, it is crucial to address the system boundary inclusions, such as emissions generated during coke production, and the potential allocation of impacts derived from the use of by-products like coke oven gas.
