By-products of coal combustion such as fly ash also play an important role in cement manufacture and the wider construction industry. It is liquefied to make synthetic fuels similar to petroleum or diesel. Syngas — from gasification — can be further processed to produce chemical building blocks such as methanol, ammonia and urea.
Other major users of coal include the paper, textile and glass industries. Coal is also used in the manufacture of carbon fibre and specialist ingredients such as silicon metals, which are used to produce ingredients for the household and personal care sectors.

Coal is a sedimentary deposit composed predominantly of carbon that is readily combustible. Coal is black or brownish-black, and has a composition that including inherent moisture consists of more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70 percent by volume of carbonaceous material.
