bituminous coal
Coal is used to generate electricity because it is a plentiful resource and has a high energy content, making it cost-effective for producing power. When burned in power plants, coal produces heat that is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. However, coal is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, leading to environmental concerns.
Coal is used to generate almost half of all electricity produced in the United States. Besides electric utility companies, industries and businesses with their own power plants use coal to generate electricity. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity.
Coal can't generate electricity by itself, but through the process of combustion, it can produce heat which can be used to produce steam that can run turbines which are connected to generators that produces electricity.
The fuel that India uses most to generate electricity is coal. Second to coal is hydro power and then natural gas resources.
It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.
