There are approximately 6,700-8,300 BTUs per pound of lignite coal. A ton of lignite coal contains 20-24 million BTUs.
Anthracite coal has a heating value of about 25 million Btu per ton. It is a high-quality coal with a high carbon content and low moisture content, making it a popular choice for heating and energy generation.
Subbituminous coal is a type of coal that has a lower carbon content and higher moisture content compared to bituminous coal. It is typically found at a shallower depth in the earth's crust and has a lower energy value. Subbituminous coal is used primarily for electricity generation.

The amount of coal needed to produce 1 ton of fly ash varies depending on the characteristics of the coal and the combustion process. On average, it takes about 10-20% of the original coal weight to result in 1 ton of fly ash.
Assuming that coal is essentially pure carbon, each 12 kg of coal will combust to form 44 kg of carbon dioxide (C+O2 -->CO2) a bit more than 3 times as much carbon dioxide as coal. A ton of carbon will burn to form about 3 tones of carbon dioxide.
Low- and medium-volatility grade bituminous coal typically generates between 26 and 30 million BTUs per ton.
High-volatile coal, in contrast, usually produces anywhere from 18 to 29 million BTUs per ton.

Anthracite coal has a heating value of about 25 million Btu per ton. It is a high-quality coal with a high carbon content and low moisture content, making it a popular choice for heating and energy generation.
One ton of TNT is equivalent to approximately 4.184 billion British Thermal Units (BTUs).
On average, coal releases about 25 million British thermal units (BTUs) per ton when burned. The exact energy content can vary depending on the type and quality of the coal.
An HVAC system is rated in British Thermal Units (BTUs). For example, a 2-ton air conditioning system is 24,000 BTUs. That's 12,000 BTUs per ton. So a 3.5-ton air conditioner is a 42,000 BTUs.
A 5-ton air conditioning unit typically has a cooling capacity of about 60,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. This is calculated by multiplying the tonnage by 12,000 BTUs per ton, as one ton is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs. Therefore, a 5-ton unit is designed to remove 60,000 BTUs of heat from a space each hour.
60,000 Btu's 12,000 Btu's = 1 ton
A 5-ton air conditioning unit typically has a cooling capacity of about 60,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. This is calculated by knowing that one ton of cooling is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs, so 5 tons equals 5 x 12,000 BTUs. Therefore, a 5-ton unit provides adequate cooling for larger spaces.
A one ton heat pump typically has around 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour of heating or cooling capacity.
To convert BTUs (British Thermal Units) to tons of refrigeration (TR), you can use the conversion factor where 1 ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. Therefore, 9,000 BTUs is approximately 0.75 tons of refrigeration (9,000 BTUs ÷ 12,000 BTUs/ton = 0.75 TR).
