➡️ Coal gas is a flammable gaseous fuel made from coal and supplied to the user via a piped distribution system.
➡️ The gas obtained when coal is heated strongly in the absence of air is called coal gas.
➡️ Coal gas contains a variety of calorific gases including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and volatile hydrocarbons together with small quantities of non-calorific gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Coal gas is an flammable gaseous fuel made by the destructive distillation of coal containing a variety of calorific gases including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and volatile hydrocarbons together with small quantities of non-calorific gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Before natural gas became popular in 1940s and 1950s, Coal gas was the primary source of gaseous fuel for the United States and the UK. It was used for lighting, cooking, and heating and was often supplied to households via a municipally owned piped distribution system. The composition of coal gas varied according to the type of coal and the temperature of carbonisation
Typical composition of the Coal gas is as follows:
Hydrogen 50%
Methane 35%
Carbon monoxide 10%
Ethylene 5%
