The sulfur content in coal varies depending on the type of coal and its source. On average, coal can contain around 0.2% to 5% sulfur by weight. Higher sulfur content in coal can contribute to air pollution when burned.

How much greenhouse gases does coal produce?

Burning coal emits around 2.1 pounds of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated, making it a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, coal combustion can also release other pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury, which have their own environmental and health impacts.


How is coal refined?

Coal refining is nowhere near as complex as oil refining. Coal is washed with a water or chemical bath to remove some impurities. As much as 30 percent of the sulfur can be removed by washing. At the power plant, coal is pulverized to a heavy powder just before being burned. From http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/coalvswind/brief_coal.html

What is the amount Difference between high sulfur and low sulfur diesel?

There is not a clear cutoff point between "high and Low sulfur diesel". Ultra low sulfur diesel ULSD is what is currently required for on road use. ULSD can contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur (15 micrograms sulfur per gram of fuel or 0.0015 wt.%). Low sulfur diesel would contain more sulfur than ULSD and high sulfur diesel more than low sulfur diesel.


How much sulphur in a liter of kerosene and how much of the same in a liter of diesel?

The sulfur content in kerosene typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.3% by weight, which translates to approximately 1 to 3 grams of sulfur per liter. In contrast, low-sulfur diesel fuels can contain around 0.001% to 0.05% sulfur, equating to about 0.01 to 0.5 grams of sulfur per liter. However, regular diesel can have higher sulfur content, depending on regulations and fuel grade. Always refer to specific fuel specifications for precise values.
