What is coal used for in Zimbabwe?
coal in Zimbabwe is used for many reasons. Some of them being heat (although that is not needed much in Zimbabwe) and most of it for electrical power in Zimbabwe.
What power was first used to generate electricity in 1890?
Simple answer, coal. We, as humans, have used coal since the bronze age for heat. In the 1800's when the industrial revolution started, coal was used to boil water. this water could drive a turbine, which is basically how we get our power today, things haven't changed too much in that respect.
Does japan use only nuclear power?
No. Much of their power comes from coal.
How much power does brown coal produce?

How much electricity does a coal power station supply?
it depends on how big the power station is
Are hydroelectric as powerful as oil or coal stations?
Yes,once its used as much oil and coal power station
How much electrical power is required to run this steam cleaner?
This steam cleaner does not use any electrical power.
How much energy is generated from coal?
The amount of energy generated from coal can vary based on factors such as the type and quality of coal, the efficiency of the power plant, and the technology used. On average, coal-fired power plants convert about 33-40% of the energy in coal into electricity.
How much coal is required for 1 mw power plant?
3.5 tonns of coal is required for producing 1 mw
How much coal is needed to produce 1kw of electricity?
The energy density of coal can also be expressed in kilowatt-hours for some unit of mass, the units that electricity is most commonly sold in, to estimate how much coal is required to power electrical appliances. One kilowatt-hour is 3.6 MJ, so the energy density of coal is 6.67 kW·h/kg. The typical thermodynamic efficiency of coal power plants is about 30%, so of the 6.67 kW·h of energy per kilogram of coal, 30% of that-2.0 kW·h/kg-can successfully be turned into electricity; the rest is waste heat. So coal power plants obtain approximately 2.0 kW·h per kilogram of burned coal. I copied it from wiki page see the same for clear view http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal regards Raghs
Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?
There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
How much coal does it take to power Ontario?
