An apparatus (10) for the carbonization of materials, such as coal, comprising an elongated coking retort (10) defined by an annulus which constitutes the coking chamber (10) within which the coal is carbonized indirectly by conduction. In order to provide an efficient mechanism for transferring thermal energy to the coal by conduction, highly conductive tiles (40) equipped with flues (41) and adapted to transport hot flue gas makes up the walls (38) of the annulus (37) within which the coal is carbonized. The raw gas discharged from the carbonization and the cooled gas discharged from the flues are collected and separately treated to prevent polluting emissions.
