The names for the different types of coal depends on the organic content. The coal with the lowest percentage of organic matter is anthracite. (around 10 % organics) Then comes steam coal, bituminous coal. (around 20 %) Lignite is a form of coal with high organic content (around 50 %) Peat is a coal precursor (half way to being coal) (More than 50 %)
