COG Gas (Coke Oven Gas)

Coke Oven Gas (COG) is a combustible by-product of producing coke from coal.

How It's Made

• Coal is heated in a reducing atmosphere, releasing COG while leaving carbon-rich coke.

Uses

• Industrial fuel and methanol feedstock.
• Can be used in gas turbines for power generation.

Safety

• Contains carbon monoxide; proper ventilation and monitoring are critical.
• Use non-sparking tools to reduce ignition risks.
