Steam Coal

Energy Term


Steam coal is a type of coal that is widely used in the energy industry for electricity generation, heat production, and other industrial processes. It is typically mined from underground or open-pit mines and has a low sulphur and ash content, making it suitable for combustion.

The chemical makeup of steam coal includes carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. When steam coal is burned in a power plant, it produces thermal energy that is used to heat water and create steam. The steam is then sent through a turbine, which generates electricity.

Steam coal is preferred over other types of coal for energy production because of its higher calorific value, which means it produces more energy per unit of weight. It is also less expensive than other types of coal, making it a popular choice for power plants.

In addition to electricity generation, steam coal is also used in the production of cement, steel, and other industrial processes. It is also exported to countries around the world for use in their energy and industrial sectors.

Despite its advantages, steam coal is also associated with environmental concerns due to its high carbon emissions and contribution to climate change. Efforts are underway to develop alternative energy sources and technologies that are more sustainable and eco-friendly, such as wind and solar power.
