Proposed still mills
Lutful Karim, Sydney, Australia
There are two main types of coal. They are thermal coal and coking coal. Thermal coal is used for electricity generation, whereas coking coal is primarily used in the steel mills. Coking coal is a higher-quality coal because it is able to withstand more heat, which is necessary in the manufacture of steel. In Bangladesh, coking coal may not be found but it can be imported from abroad to use in the proposed Tata steel mills in Bangladesh. All the steel mills of China and Japan use imported coking coal. If they can run their steel mills profitably, Tata can also run their proposed steel mills using imported coking coal profitably. If they insist on using gas in the manufacture of steel, they should pay the right price which should be linked to the international price of coking coal.
