Briquettes, ovoids and similar solid fuels; manufactured from coal

HS code 270120 covers the production of briquettes, ovoids, and other solid fuels manufactured from coal. This industry plays a crucial role in the global energy landscape, providing a reliable and cost-effective source of fuel for a wide range of industrial and residential applications. As the world continues to transition towards more sustainable energy solutions, the coal briquette industry remains an important component of the broader energy mix, particularly in regions where access to alternative fuels may be limited.

The production of coal briquettes typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw coal is crushed and screened to achieve the desired particle size. The coal is then mixed with a binder, such as coal tar or petroleum-based compounds, to improve the cohesion and structural integrity of the final product. The mixture is then pressed into molds or extruded to form the briquettes or ovoids. Finally, the briquettes are dried and sometimes coated to enhance their durability and burning characteristics.

The primary input for the coal briquette industry is, of course, coal. Manufacturers may source coal from various grades and types, depending on the specific requirements of their end products. In addition to coal, the industry also relies on binders, such as coal tar or petroleum-based compounds, as well as specialized machinery for crushing, mixing, and pressing the raw materials into the final briquettes or ovoids.

The primary output of the coal briquette industry is the briquettes, ovoids, and similar solid fuels 270120 Briquettes, ovoids and similar solid fuels; manufactured from coal. These products are widely used in industrial and residential settings for heating, power generation, and other applications. The coal briquettes may also be consumed by other industries, such as 271011 Motor spirit, including aviation spirit and 271019 Other oils, which may use the briquettes as a feedstock or fuel source.
