Coke (coal) 

Coke typically has a specific gravity in the range 1.85 - 1.9. It is highly porous, and a mass of coke has 40% greater volume than the equivalent mass of coal.

Since the smoke-producing constituents are driven off during the coking of the coal, coke forms a desirable fuel for stoves and furnaces in which conditions are not suitable for the complete burning of bituminous coal itself. Coke may be burned with little or no smoke under combustion conditions which would result in a large amount of smoke were bituminous coal the fuel. Coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace[?]. Coke from coal is grey, hard, and porous and has a heating value of 28 million joules/kilogram.

The solid residue remaining from the refinement of petroleum by the "cracking" process is also a form of coke. Petroleum coke has many uses besides being a fuel, such as the manufacture of dry cells[?], electrodes, etc. Gas works that manufacture coal gas also produce coke as an end product, called gas house coke.
