Coal Types, Uses and Formation
Coal is a very widely used natural resource because of its unique characteristics. Because of its affordability, it is used in several countries for electricity and power generation. Generally, powdered coal is used to create steam, which in turn generates electricity with high pressure.

2021-8-23 Coal is primarily used as fuel to generate electric power in the United States. In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of the coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity.

What is coal, what are the types of coal, and what coal is
2020-11-3 Bituminous: Bituminous coal is a middle rank coal between subbituminous and anthracite. Bituminous usually has a high heating (Btu) value and is the most common type of coal used in electricity generation in the United States. Bituminous coal appears shiny and smooth when you first see it, but look closer and you may see it has layers.
