What is coal used for? USGS
Coal is primarily used as fuel to generate electric power in the United States. In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of the coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity. In 2019, about 23 percent of all electricity in the United

Coal Wikipedia
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams.Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.

Types Of Coal (& Their Uses) Better Meets Reality
Feb 16, 2021 How The Different Types Of Coal Are Used. Coal has a major use as an energy source for electricity (burning of coal creates heat, the heat boils water, and steam from the water moves large turbines to create energy). But, how the different types of coal are used depends on the country and region they are used in.

Top 5 Facts: Uses of coal How It Works
Coal-fired power stations generate 40% of global electricity. Heat from burning coal boils water, and steam spins a propeller. A machine turns this into electricity. Iron and steel; About 70% of steel is created using coke, a high-carbon fuel made from coal. It is burned to melt and remove impurities from iron ore during iron and steel production.
