organic materials
Coal is formed in swampy environments with abundant plant material that accumulates and is buried over time. The plant material undergoes the process of diagenesis, where heat and pressure transform it into coal.
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are formed from the remains of ancient plants and organisms that have been buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. This process, known as diagenesis, transforms the organic matter into the energy-rich compounds found in fossil fuels.
Power plants fired by coal produce many pollutants (SOx, NOx, radiation, particulate, mercury etc.) the amounts vary by the size and fuel used at the site (not all coal produced the same contaminants). See the Links for data on typical coal plants.
Sulfur dioxide in the air is mainly produced by burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. Two thirds of this pollution comes from coal-fired power plants, industrial processes, and automobiles.
Diagenesis refers to the physical and chemical changes that sediments undergo as they are compressed and cemented into sedimentary rocks. It occurs at relatively low temperatures and pressures and can involve processes like mineral growth, recrystallization, and compaction.

No, while peat can be used a fuel, it is in the same class a wood it is not a fossil fuel. The form of coal that has undergone the least diagenesis (and is still a fossil fuel) is called "Lignite".
More than 70% of US electricity is produced from coal.
Approximately 23% of electricity in the US is produced by coal energy.
In 1900, approximately 270 million tons of coal were produced in the United States.
yes
anuel
diagenesis
its not russians dont use gas or coal
Bituminous coal, or soft coal, is the most common type of coal produced in the United States.
no smoke is produced when you burn it init.
Coke is produced from coal through a process called destructive distillation. In this process, coal is heated in the absence of air to drive off volatile components, leaving behind coke. The coke produced is a porous material that is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in the smelting of iron ore.
