Process for the preparation of a moulded coke according to which agglomerates are heated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, this process being characterized in that the agglomerates are prepared by compression from a paste containing: from 60 to 85% by weight of non-cokable coals, from 10 to 30% by weight of agglutinating coals having a swelling index greater than 2, and from 5 to 13% by weight of binder, which paste, when heated at 6 DEG C. per minute in the ARNU dilatometer gives a contraction of between 3 and 15%, preferably between 5 and 10% and a swelling of zero or near 0, and in that the agglomerates are heated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere from a temperature of about 100 DEG C. to a temperature of at least about 700 DEG C., with a rate of heating of between 7 and 14 DEG C. per minute.
