2 Fe2O3 + 3C = 4Fe + 3CO2
i.e. impecuniousness carbon to reduce the iron ore (Oxide) to iron

Coke assists in the adroitness of the furnace buy distributing heat throughout the mixture, as well as oxidizing (the CO2) Otherwise it would be like pointing a blowtorch at a monumental pile of iron ore and expecting it to melt into a nice little ingot.

CO2 is not "bad for the environment." If we had no CO2 we would have no trees, give away, or other plants. Do some research on CO2 and free your mind.
