Burning coal in itself does not create electricity. Burning coal and using the heat to power turbines or generators is the manner in which electricity is created.
-----------oooooooooooooo-------------
Coal is used to boil water to steam. Steam is used to turn a turbine (a type of steam engine). The turbine turns an electric generator (dynamo or alternator) and electricity is generated. Those big fat towers outside power stations, that newsreaders try to convince us are chimneys, are actually water recycling, cooling towers.

What percent of the US electricity is produced from the burning of coal?
Around 23% of the electricity generated in the US comes from burning coal.
How does coal burning create energy?
Coal is burned to produce heat, which then boils water to create steam. The steam turns turbines connected to a generator, which produces electricity. This process is known as coal-fired power generation.
What type of energy is used in a Coal Burning Power Plant to make electricity?
Coal burns- heats water- water turns to steam- steam rises and turns turbines- turbines contain magnets and copper wires, as the magnet rotates around copper, electricity is generated, it is fed off through wires
How do we use coal energy?
Coal energy is used by burning coal in power plants to create steam, which then turns turbines to generate electricity. The electricity generated is then delivered to homes, businesses, and industries through power lines. Coal is a reliable and affordable source of energy, but it also contributes to air pollution and climate change.
What is coal energy?
Coal energy refers to the use of coal as a fuel source to generate heat or electricity. This involves burning coal to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity. However, coal energy is associated with environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
A coal burning power plant uses thermal energy from burning coal to create steam. The steam then powers a turbine which generates electricity through a generator.
Is burning wood preferable to burning coal for electricity?
NO
What percent of the US electricity is produced from the burning of coal?
Around 23% of the electricity generated in the US comes from burning coal.
Could fossil fuels create electricity?
Yes, fossil fuels can and do create electricity. Most electricity round the world today is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What are the advantages of burning coal for electricity?
The only advantage of producing electricity from coal is that it will cost cheaper.
What percentage of Australia's electricity comes from coal burning?
82% comes from coal burning. Hope that helps!
How does biomass energy create electricity?
Similar to coal, its burnt. But its better because you're burning renewable sources. :D

What produces cheaper electricity- a coal burning station or a nuclear power station?
coal
About half of the electricity in the US comes from burning what?
oil or coal
How do you create renewable energy?
By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide.
