Energy cannot be 'made' or 'destroyed'. It can simply be transformed to a different type of energy. Coal contains chemical energy, which will for example, be converted to heat energy in say a coal fired industrial boiler.

The energy in coal is used to make electricity. How is the energy stored in coal?

The energy in coal is stored in the form of chemical bonds between carbon and other elements like hydrogen. When coal is burned, these bonds break, releasing the energy in the form of heat that can be used to vaporize water and generate steam to drive turbines that produce electricity.


What form of energy is stored in coal?

The energy stored in coal that is converted to heat is chemical energy. Of course coal, like any other matter, also has stored nuclear energy.


Is burning coal a renewable form of energy?

No, it is a non-renewable form of energy.


How is the energy transferred for coal?

Energy from burning coal is transferred in the form of heat. When coal is burned, it releases energy in the form of heat that can be used to generate steam which in turn drives turbines to produce electricity.


In what form does coal store energy from the sun?

Coal stores energy from the sun in the form of chemical energy. This energy is stored through the process of photosynthesis when plants capture sunlight and convert it into organic compounds through photosynthesis. Over time, these organic compounds are transformed into coal through geological processes.


Is in unburned lump of coal Kendrick energy or potential?

In an unburned lump of coal, the energy is in potential form. When coal is burned, its chemical energy is converted into heat and other forms of energy.


Is coal a form of potential energy?

Yes, coal is a form of potential energy because it contains stored energy that can be released through combustion to produce heat and electricity.
