Provided is a rising heat material for a converter that enables the amount of CO2 generated from fossil resources to be reduced, has low sulfur content, and enables a required amount to be stably produced. The rising heat material for a converter is molded by producing carbides through the carbonization of plant biomass, and by adding a binder and moisture to the carbides, which serve as the main raw material. In a dry state, in which moisture has been excluded, the composition of the rising heat material for a converter is not less than 70 mass% of fixed carbon, not more than 20 mass% of volatile components, and not more than 0.1 mass% of sulfur, with the remainder being ash. Additional moisture is not more than 5 mass% of the mass in a dry state in which moisture has been excluded. |
