Anthracite is the highest grade of coal that produces the least pollution and most energy per unit. It is also known as stone coal, or black coal.
Coal is a type of fuel which produces a lot of pollution, both in terms of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming, and nitrogen and sulfur oxides, which contribute to acid rain. Various other impurities in coal produce other, lesser forms of pollution.
Natural gas. Of the three non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), natural gas (methane) produces the least carbon dioxide and other pollution.
Coal, oil and natural gas are all fossil fuels which give off pollution when they are burnt!
that it make a lot of pollution and kills some types of plants
doesnt matter because their both pollution but coal is
When coal burns, it produces heat. This can be converted to other forms of energy.
Peat is sometimes considered a type of coal-so surely it must be seen as the most common. There is a lot of bituminous ("soft") coal. Anthracite ("hard") coal, which produces less air pollution, is less common.
Advantages of coal: Coal burns warm and for a long time. Coal produces energy, Coal is easy ti mine. Disadvantages: Coal can spontaneously combust if it is not strategically piled and stacked and separated, also must be rotated throughout its pile. Pollution is another disadvantage of coal. It is also expensive to move around from one coal yard to another.
In Europe, Poland produces the most coal.
Air pollution
Burning coal in complete combustion of oxygen produces carbon-dioxide where as burning coal in limted amount of oxygen produces carbon-monoxide.
