Can coal be used in its natural state or is it changed in any way?

Coal can largely be used in it's natural state but as always it depends on it's application. For example, coal for domestic or decorative heating purposes is burnt in it's solid mass state as briquettes, where as in coal fired power stations coal is ground down to a talcum powder like consistency and conveyed into the furnace in a stream of hot air. Depending on the geographical region the coal is sourced from it can also have different chemical constituents, it some cases in industrial applications it is necessary to blend coals to meet local or national emissions limits.
