Green Petroleum Coke (GPC) is a carbon-rich solid derived from refining heavy petroleum feedstocks. With high fixed carbon (86–89%) and low ash (0.6%), it serves as a cost-effective fuel for power generation, cement kilns, and metallurgy. Its calorific value exceeds 8,400 kcal/kg, ensuring high energy output.
