Combustion of coal will produce coke (Impire Carbon), Carbon Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Water Vapour and ammonia.

Combustioin will also produce 'HEAT' amd '(Light).

Heat used for heating steam boilers.

Coke used from iron reduction in the Blast Furnace.

Sulphur dioxide is 'scrubbed' out and used to make sulphuric acid.

Ammonia is also 'scrubbed' out and used to make fertilisers.

Water vapoiur and Carbon dioxide are released to the atmosphere, although CO2 capture is being used more.
