Abstract: Described is a method for producing a fuel containing carbon, wherein the fuel is formed by compressing raw material containing a carbon and adding an additive that promotes thermal utilization of the fuel at a specified amount. The additive contains a chemical compound made of the elements calcium and/or magnesium and having or not having carbon. In a first method step, the raw material containing carbon is pressed and in this way a pressed article is produced. Then the additive is fed to at least one area of said pressed fuel article.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a fuel (10) containing carbon, wherein the fuel (10) is formed by compressing raw material (2) containing carbon and adding an additive (4) that promotes thermal utilization of the fuel at a specified amount, and the additive (4) contains a chemical compound made of the elements calcium and/or magnesium and having or not having carbon. According to the invention, in a first method step, the raw material (2) containing carbon is pressed and in this way a pressed fuel article (6) is produced, and then the additive (4) is fed to at least one area (6a) of said pressed fuel article (6).
