coke

Clean, light fuel produced, along with town gas, when coal is strongly heated in an airtight oven. Coke contains 90% carbon and makes a useful domestic and industrial fuel (used, for example, in the iron and steel industries).

The coke-making process was patented in England in 1622, but it was only in 1709 that Abraham Darby devised a commercial method of production.
