What is waste coal?

Waste coal is one of many names (overburden, gob, culm, bony, coal refuse etc) for an organic rock material that is generally found at or near a coal mine site/mine. It is a rock generally consisting of a combination of some carbon (coal) and indigenous rock material commonly found at or near the mine site. Since it has some but low BTU value compared to commercial grade marketplace coal it is referred to as waste coal or coal refuse today. In the past millions of tons of (prior to 1980's) the material was commonly discarded due to the fact that there wasn't a commercial use for the material. Since then a new technology was developed called CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) that can cleanly convert low value BTU material (such as coal refuse) into clean coal alternative energy. Today there are approximately 20 power plants in the USA removing coal refuse from our landscape and converting it into clean alternative energy...in an environmentally beneficial manner...in fact 10% of the energy generated in PA is made from coal refuse. Yesterdays waste has become today's alternative energy
