steam coal

A form of coal called steam coal is primarily used as a fuel source for the production of electric power using steam. Additionally, it is utilised in industrial operations including the creation of steel and cement. Typically mined from surface or underground mines, steam coal is distinguished by its comparatively high energy content and low sulphur level. Depending on where it is mined and how it is extracted, the grade of steam coal might change.Although using coal for heating is becoming less prevalent, it is still utilised in some heating systems for homes and businesses. For heat, coal is burned in furnaces and boilers. Steam coal is a fuel source that can be utilised in transportation, particularly in ships and railways. The engines are powered by steam, which is created by burning coal. Coal is a raw resource that may be used to make chemicals like methanol and ammonia. Plastics and fertilisers are two common uses for chemicals derived from coal. Because of its detrimental effects on the environment, including as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, the use of steam coal as a fuel source for power generation has come under fire.
