Coking coal
Coking coal is an essential raw material for the steel industry. It is used as a reducing agent in blast furnaces and is therefore the basis of conventional steel production - indispensable for infrastructure, mechanical engineering and industrial production.
We deliver what steel makes possible
No classic steel without coking coal.
It provides the necessary heat, carbon content and reduction in the blast furnace process. To this day, a large proportion of global steel production is based on this key resource - despite the growing importance of alternative processes.
We secure the supply of high-quality coking coal to European industry - predictable, traceable, sustainable.
Coking coal in figures - 2024
01
Around 70 % of the steel produced worldwide is based on the blast furnace route - with coking coal as the central input material.
02
China, India, Australia, Russia and the USA are among the largest producers and consumers of coking coal.
03
The demand for metallurgical coal will remain relevant in the course of decarbonization - especially for transition phases and special steels.
04
The German Commodities Group has a global network with access to high-quality coking coal deposits and refiners in Asia, Australia and Eastern Europe.
