Specific grades are used to create coke , a crucial fuel and reducing agent in steel manufacturing and blast furnaces.
Higher sulfur and nitrogen content compared to anthracite, contributing to acid rain if not treated.
More efficient than lignite or sub-bituminous coal. bituminous coal
Extensively burned in thermal power plants to generate steam.
Features high volatile content (up to 46%), which makes it easier to ignite but also produces more smoke and soot than anthracite. Key Applications Specific grades are used to create coke ,
High ash content in some varieties can cause "slagging" (molten ash buildup) in boilers.
Widely utilized in cement production and other heavy industrial heat applications. Pros and Cons Extensively burned in thermal power plants to generate steam
As an industrial and domestic fuel, is the most widely used variety of coal due to its high heating value and versatility. Often referred to as "soft coal," it is the middle rank between low-grade lignite and high-grade anthracite. Performance & Energy Profile
