    Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock formed from plant matter that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. It contains stored energy from ancient plants and is classified into types based on its carbon content, including anthracite with the highest carbon level and lignite with the lowest. Coal is used as a fuel to generate electricity and as a raw material to make iron and steel, with the different coal types utilized for different purposes based on their carbon percentages and energy values.

    COAL

    ENERGY
    WHAT IS COAL ENERGY?

    -Is a combustible black or brownish-black


    sedimentary rock with high amount if
    carbon and hydrocarbon
    -Coal Contains the energy stored by plants
    that lived hundred s of millions of years
    ago in a swampy forest.
    How does Coal Formed?
    Types of Coal
    ■ ANTHRACITE
    -contains 86%-97% carbon and generally has the highest heating
    value of all ranks of coal.
    ■ Bituminous Coal
    Contains 45%-86% carbon.
    Bituminous coal is used to generate fuel and raw making material for
    making iron and steel.
    Sub Bituminous Coal
    Typically contains 35%-45% of carbon, and it has lower
    heating value than bituminous coal
    Lignite Coal
    Contains 25%-35% of carbon and has the lowest energy content
    of all coal ranks.
    Lignite Coal deposits tend to be relatively young and were not
    subjected to extreme heat or pressure.
