What type of energy is in a coal fired power station?

A coal-fired power station primarily generates thermal energy from burning coal. The heat produced is used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity.


Where does the wasted energy from a coal power station go?

The wasted energy from a coal power station is released as heat into the environment, contributing to global warming. This energy is not effectively converted into electricity and is therefore lost as thermal energy during the power generation process.


How may energy be lost in a power station turbine?

Energy may be lost in a power station turbine due to friction between moving parts, air resistance, and inefficiencies in the conversion process from thermal energy to mechanical energy. This loss of energy results in a decrease in the turbine's efficiency and overall power output.
