Solar energy is stored in coal and petroleum.
There are four types of coal as under:Lignite coalUsed almost exclusively for electric power generation lignite is a young type of coal. Lignite is brownish black, has a high moisture content (up to 45 %), and a high suphur content. Lignite is more like soil than a rock and tends to disintegrate when exposed to the weather. Lignite is also called brown coal. Lignite has a colorific value of less than 5 kw/kg approximately.Subbituminous coalSubbituminous coal is also called black lignite. Subbituminous coal black and contains 20-30 % moisture. Subbituminous coal is used for generating electricity and space heating. Subbitumnious coal has calorific values ranging from 5 - 6.8 kW/kG approximately.Bituminous coalBituminous coal is a soft, dense, black coal. Bituminous coal often has bands of bright and dull material in it. Bituminous coal is the most common coal and has a moisture content less than 20 %. Bituminous coal is used for generating electricity, making coke, and space heating.Bituminous coal has calorific values ranging from 6.8 - 9 kW/kG approximately.Anthracite coalOften referred to as hard coal, anthracite is hard, black and lustrous. Anthracite is low in suplhur and high in carbon. It is the highest rank of coal. moisture content generally is less than 15 %.Anthracite has a calorfific values of around 9 kW/kG or above.
Gross calorific value of coal
GCV, gross calorific value, is the quantity of heat produced by combustion. UHV, useful heat value, is the gradation of non-coking coal.
gross calorific value
Useful heat value(UHV) pricing mechanism of coal deducted ash and moisture content from standard formula and in this coal is categorised into 7 grades. Gross calorific value(GCV) of coal has 17 grades and prices are linked to the actual calorific value/quality of coal-by latika joshi
it is for determining gross calorific value of any coal
Anthracite has the highest calorific value. and South African coal is best in the world.

Coal
GAR is ((100-total moisture)/ (100-inherent moisture)) x Calorific Value in ADB So all depends on the moisture. If we assumed total moist 25% and inherent 5% so the calorific value in ADB is (95%/75%) x GAR 3800 = 4800 Gross Calorific Value ADB So all depends on the moisture in the coal...
To calcualte NCV you need calorific value on GAR, H on gar and Total moisture.

NCV means Net Calorific Value. The lower calorific value or Net calorific value (NCV) which supposes that the products of combustion contain the water of combustion to the vapor state. The heat contained in this water is not recovered.
