COAL
It is a source of burnt carbon, generally formed when plant materials fossilize over years under high pressure and temperature. Coal is used in many different applications, including power generation, industrial processes and heating.
Availability as Fuel
It is the most common among fossil fuels and is widely used for energy production.
Carbon Neutral
In addition to carbon, it contains hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen and other elements. Some types of coal may have low sulfur content, which can reduce air pollution during combustion.
Calorific Value
It refers to the amount of energy per unit. The calorific value of coal varies depending on its type and quality of coal.
Ease of Storage and Transportation
It is very durable in terms of storage and transportation. This feature makes it easier to transport and store coal over long distances.
Energy Density
It is an energy-dense fuel, meaning it contains high energy per unit. This feature makes coal preferred in energy production.
