- Patent fuel; output
- Coal pressed into blocks.
- Coke-oven cokes
- Solid coal product derived from further carbonization at high temperature. In blast furnaces the product is used to produce iron from iron ore.
- Output, total
- Manufacture of coke-oven products output
- Manufacture of coke-oven products transform coal into coke-oven cokes which is needed to produce iron and steel.
- Output, other
- Gas works gas
- Gas derived from coal and destined for distribution in the gas network.
- Output by public gas works companies
