Coke contains more carbon than coal and hence coke produces more heat
What is the difference between Hard coking coal vs soft coking coal?
Coke is made by heating coal in the absence of oxygen to about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Hard coking coal forms high-strength coke, while soft coking coal produces a lesser quality coke.
