coke with cheaper soft coking or thermal coals reduces reductant costs. It takes about 1.4 t of coking coal to make 1 t of coke, which can be replaced by 1 t of pulverised injected coal (Couch, 2001). Coke prices have risen in the last couple of years and are expected to remain high for the next two years or so, creating further
