Abstract
The transformation routes of coal are manifold. Depending on the raw coal composition, there are preferred process chains with their corresponding product ranges. Compared to petroleum refining almost any hydrocarbon substance of the chemical industry can be also derived from coal because key components for syntheses have an alternative coal-based production process. In the following subsections, further details about a material use besides the common energetic use of coal are provided. This includes the idea of coupling power generation with syngas-based chemical synthesis.
