One of the uses of coal is for power.
Biomass is a renewable resource.
1. High heat content (BTU's). 2. Availability (huge amounts of Coal, oil, gas contrary to the News). 3. Uses existing technology. 4. Established delivery systems.

Power plants, steam locomotives, and some homes.
Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from decayed plants, while oil is a liquid fossil fuel made from decayed marine organisms, and natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel formed in a similar way to oil but with different components. Each fuel has different energy densities, environmental impacts, and uses.
Coal, iron, uranium, and petroleum are natural resources that are essential for various industries. Coal is a fossil fuel used for energy production, iron is a metal used in construction and manufacturing, uranium is used as a fuel in nuclear power plants, and petroleum is a fossil fuel used for transportation and energy production.
Coal is classified based on its carbon content and heating value into four main types: lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite. This classification is determined by the amount of heat and pressure the coal was subjected to over time. Each type of coal has different properties and uses based on its classification.
The term defines itself- an appliance using fossil fuels- such as coal and oil. ( as wood is in a sense regenerative- it is not strictly speaking a fossil fuel) a classic- and appropriately obsolete example would be a coal burning ( Pot Belly) stove. These, of course have antique value.
Graphite and coal are both forms of carbon, but they have different properties and uses. Graphite is a soft, black, slippery material that is a good conductor of electricity and heat. It is used in pencils, lubricants, and as a material for electrodes in batteries. Coal, on the other hand, is a hard, black rock that is a fossil fuel used for energy production. It is burned to generate electricity and heat, and is also used in the production of steel and cement.
Crude oil and coal are two examples of fossil fuels.
Collectively, power plants that use natural gas, oil, or coal are known as "fossil fuel power plants" but they are usually identified by the primary fuel and are not freely interchangeable.
No, not all fossil fuels are liquids. Fossil fuels can exist in three states: solids (coal), liquids (petroleum/oil), and gases (natural gas). This variety of states allows for different uses and applications across industries.
No, mining coal, and burning coal uses up fossil fuels which are finite and pollute.
India uses fossil fuels such as nuclear and coal.
