They do this to decontaminate the emissions (to some extent) that are released into the atmosphere. but answers are fake and so is wikepedia
What gas is produced when coal is burned in a power station?
Coal is an impure form of carbon. When combusted it releases carbon dioxide. . It also releases , sulphur dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide. These three gases are released in much smaller quantities. In modern coal fired power stations, 'scrubbers' or varying types are placed in the exhaust flue(chimney), in order that they can be used elsewhere. So when viewing a power station from the outside, if the coal is being combusted correctly, you will not see any smoke from the chimney. However, there are usually large cooling towers alongside a power station, issuing 'white smoke'. This 'White smoke' is actually 'steam', that has not fully condensed in the cooling tower.
How is calcium carbonate used in coal fired power stations?
Limestone is used in a power station to neutralise the sulphur dioxide that is emitted. Carbon dioxide and carbon sulphate are both made!
How is sulfur removed in power stations?
Sulphur dioxide can be removed from the waste gases of a power station by passing it through a slurry of calcium hydroxide. no need to thank me :P lol hehe
What do we use coal most for?

Why is CO2 and H2O released from a gas fired power station but not from a coal fired power station?
The gas used for burning contains both carbon and hydrogen; coal does not (it consists mainly of carbon).
