The invention relates to a method for producing tar and hydrocarbon fuel products from coal. The method comprises steps of pyrolysis, raw gas purification and desulfurization, a methanation process, a methane separation process, a gasification process, a conversion process, a purification process, a sulfur recovery process, a fine desulfurization process, a synthesis process and the like. With the adoption of the method, raw coal is firstly subjected to low-temperature pyrolysis and then subjected to gasification conversion, the types of coal chemical products are increased, and the utilization efficiency of the coal raw material is improved; the problem that low-rank coal cannot be gasified and utilized by a wet-process entrained-flow bed is solved, the raw material consumption during gasification is reduced, the waste water discharge is reduced, the greenhouse gas production amount in the process is reduced, and efficient class-based and quality-based utilization of the coal resource is realized.
