Extensively burned in thermal power plants to generate steam.
Widely utilized in cement production and other heavy industrial heat applications. Pros and Cons
Can be "beneficiated" (cleaned) to meet specific industrial standards.
Higher sulfur and nitrogen content compared to anthracite, contributing to acid rain if not treated.
Specific grades are used to create coke , a crucial fuel and reducing agent in steel manufacturing and blast furnaces.
Typically offers energy outputs between 6,642 and 8,355 kcal/kg (approximately 27–35 MJ/kg). Carbon Content: Contains between 40% and 85% carbon .
High ash content in some varieties can cause "slagging" (molten ash buildup) in boilers.
