Chemical products from carbonization represent 7% of the thermal energy of the coal but are 16% of the total value of the products. Various processes that may be used to increase these % include hydrogenation, low-temperature carbonization, Fischer-Tropsch, and MeOH synthesis. Reviews present uses and demands of various classes of chemical products from coal.
