It is an unrenewable source, meaning it cant be reused or recycles. Once used its pretty much gone
Also it polutes the earth
Coal is preferred energy source.
Two significant disadvantages of using coal as a fuel in power plants in Ontario are environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Coal combustion releases harmful pollutants, including sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can contribute to air quality issues and health problems. Additionally, coal is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, exacerbating climate change and undermining efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources.
Positive effects of using coal include its abundance, reliability for power generation, and affordability compared to other energy sources. Coal also supports jobs in the mining and energy sector.
Burning Coal
Coal produces CO2, and also sulphur dioxide depending on the sulphur content of the coal used, and these are released to the atmosphere during operation. Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste, which is contained in the spent fuel. This can be stored safely and thus not released to the environment, but it needs to be stored for many years, perhaps even thousands of years.
yes
just somedisadvantagesof coal power .It takes YEARS for debrie to form into coal (debrie=grass dead animals etc.) .It is NON renewable .It is NOT an eco friendly energy source
Coal is a form of energy created by burning the coal that is mined. Coal is part of the problem because of the greenhouse ases created by burning it. If we continue using coal at the current rate we will soon run ot.
Coal offers several advantages for industrial use in Eastern Europe, including its abundance and cost-effectiveness, making it a readily available energy source that supports local economies. However, the disadvantages include significant environmental impacts, such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change and health issues. Additionally, reliance on coal can hinder the transition to cleaner energy sources and may lead to economic vulnerabilities as global energy markets shift towards sustainability.
It depends to the countries and what resources they have. Some alternatives to coal energy could be using oil, gas and even atomic energy in some cases.
Coal reserves refer to the quantity of coal that can be technically and economically extracted from a coal deposit using current mining methods. It represents the economically recoverable portion of coal resources. Coal reserves play a vital role in energy security and future energy planning.
Fossil Fuels are used to provide to energy to perform work. Such as using coal to provide energy for a train to work.
