everyday life

100

can coal provide heat?

Of Course! When burned, the carbon content of coal releases energy in the form of heat, which can be used for various purposes, including heating homes and buildings, and even for industrial processes like steel making. for simple terms, coal is used to provide heat.

200

What are 2 ways coal provides energy?

electricity, heat, geothermal, greenhouse gasses, etc

300

How many jobs does coal provide?

 A total of more than 500,000 jobs.

400

What are 3 common uses of coal?

electricity generation, heating and cooling, there is also many industrial production such as carbon fibres, steel production, etc

500

What percentage of energy in the world comes from coal?

about 30 to 50%

advantages/disadvantages

100

is coal a advantage for electricity

YES! coal is a very reliable resource to use for electricity that is very affordable.

200

What is a advantage of coal? explain

you could press or combine coal to make other minerals, you could use it for electricity, steam production, heating, etc

300

How is coal helping modern day work? explain

1. Electricity Generation:

• Coal-fired power plants burn coal to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. 

  
  

  
  

  
  

• While many countries are phasing out coal for power generation, it still provides a substantial portion of the world's electricity. 

  
  

  
  

  
  

• In some regions, coal remains a primary source of electricity due to its abundance and relatively low cost. 

  
  

  
  

  
  

2. Industrial Processes: 

• Steel Production: Coal, specifically metallurgical coal, is essential for producing steel. It is used to make coke, which is then used in blast furnaces to smelt iron ore.
• Other Industries: Coal is also used in the cement and paper industries for heat generation.
• Synthetic Fuels: Coal can be converted into synthetic fuels, like synthetic natural gas, which can be used for various applications.

3. Economic Benefits: 

• 
  

  Job Creation:The coal industry provides employment in mining, processing, and transportation.

  
  

• 
  

  Revenue Generation:Coal mining and production contribute to government revenue through taxes and royalties.

  
  

• 
  

  Infrastructure Development:Coal production and consumption have driven the development of infrastructure like railways and power plants.

  
  

4. Supporting the Transition:

• 
  

  Clean Coal Technologies:Efforts are underway to develop and deploy technologies like carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to reduce the environmental impact of coal use. 

  
  

  
  

• 
  

  Transitioning to Cleaner Energy:Coal is being phased out in some regions, and the development of renewable energy sources is crucial for a sustainable energy future.
