Hi Wal,
I like your bunkers. They appear to be constructed from precast concrete components specifically for bunkers or the like.

I found this website describing how this man made fuel is made.

https://pearsonfuels.co.uk/how-is-smokeless-coal-made/

I have no idea how smokeless coal could result in 20% less CO2 than plain anthracite since that is its main ingredient. Also a mystery that anthracite that is ground into a powder, mixed with a binder and formed into a briquet could be 20% cheaper than the anthracite.

Are there any combustion/chemical engineers out there that can explain?
Smokeless coal is engineered and processed in order to remove volatile substances (matters) to the up to 18% also by processing percentage of sulfur is reduce to 0.7%. There is a new smokeless coal called "blue coal" invented in Poland in 2019. Heating parameters are exactly the same as Anthracite include calorific value. Its less smokeless than regular smokeless coal with Sulfur level only 0.32%. Granulation is 4mm to 25mm.

Hi Wal,

Is there still a significant price difference between man made smokeless coal and anthracite in the UK?
