Why are green logs of wood used while polling in metallurgical process instead of hydrocarbons directly?

Green logs of wood are used in metallurgical processes because they provide a source of reducing agent and heat during the smelting process. The wood releases gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which help in reducing the metal oxides to their metallic form. Additionally, the controlled combustion of wood logs allows for a gradual release of heat, which is essential for the metallurgical process.
