    When people talk about not using coal it’s mostly about not using it for production of electricity and heat.

    I do know that much. I thought it was used in asphalt or tar for paving roads.

    Steel production also needs to find alternatives.

    You can make steel without coke. I’m sure no one wants to pay for the retooling though.
