What is met coal?

 At CST Coal we mine and produce Metallurgical (known as Met, Coking or Steelmaking) Coal. This grade of coal is different than Thermal coal (energy and heat production) as its primary use is to produce steel. This specific grade of coal is used to produce coke, which is a pure form of carbon that then mixes with raw iron to produce steel. This steel is then used for anything from the steel utensils in your home, your vehicle and the major infrastructure developments. Chances are if you see something steel it is a result from coking coal.
