Question

Which fossil fuel is used for the manufacture of steel and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Global steel production is dependent on coal. Over 71% of the steel produced today uses coal. Metallurgical coal – or coking coal – is a vital ingredient in the steel making process.

Answer 2

Fossil fuels are exhaustible natural resources because fossil fuels require millions of years to form from the dead vegetation and animal that get buried deep inside the earth. They require high temperature and pressure for their formation, which cannot be provided in the laboratory.
