Thermal coal is one of the types of coal and a sub-branch of bituminous coal, which according to its properties and characteristics, it can be used in certain cases.

Thermal coal is divided into two categories, low calorific value coal (LOW CTE) and high calorific value coal (HIGH CTE). The reason for this difference is related to the stages of coal transformation in the earth.

This coal has a lower coking property than coking coal, so it has a more reasonable price.

Basically, the sulfur content of hot coals is less than that of coking coals. It is worth mentioning that sulfur absorbs heat in the form of sulfate when it burns and combines up to 2% of its weight with oxygen and 4% of its weight with water.
