a lot!!!!!!!!
Coal power plants typically produce around 2-3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for every pound of coal burned. The energy produced can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant.
Coal has an energy value of 24 Megajoules/kg, which is the same as 6.67 kwh/kg. However a coal fired power plant will only have an efficiency of about 30 per cent so this reduces to 2.0 kwh/kg.Now when you say 1 ton, do you mean 2240 lb, 2000 lb, or 1000 kg (metric ton) ? I will assume 1000kg as it makes the arithmetic easier, in fact 2.0 kwh/kg comes to 2000 kwh/metric ton. Note that kilowatt is a power, kilowatthour (kwh) is an amount of energy, which is what you wanted.If you want it for a short ton of 2000 lb, this will become 1814 kwh, and for a ton of 2240 lb it will be 2032 kwh
The energy produced when burning coal can vary, but on average, one ton of coal can produce about 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. Coal combustion releases heat energy due to the chemical reaction between coal and oxygen. This heat energy is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
There is around 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide waste produced by coal power plants. This is released by a natural gas.
On average, 0.0005 metric tons (500 grams) of CO2 are produced per kWh of electricity generated from a mix of coal, natural gas, and oil-based power plants.
The heat rate of coal refers to the amount of energy produced per unit of fuel consumed in a power plant. It is typically measured in British Thermal Units (BTU) per kilowatt hour (kWh) or megajoules (MJ) per kilowatt hour (kWh). The specific heat rate of coal can vary depending on factors such as the type of coal, efficiency of the power plant, and operating conditions.
Coal cost about $o.o54 cents per kwh
A coal plant can produce different amount of energy. It depends on the size of the plant.
KWh is an amount of energy, w(watts) is a rate of energy (power). You can't equate them.
It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.
On average, about 0.45 kg of CO2 is produced for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated in the United States. However, this value can vary depending on the fuel source used for electricity generation.
2,598,000,000,000 kWh a year, that was estimated in 2008.
