Utility Coal

Energy Term


Utility coal is a type of coal that is used for the production of electricity in power plants. It is also called thermal coal or steam coal. The name "utility" comes from its use in the utility industry.

Utility coal is made up of organic materials that have been compacted and heated over millions of years. It is a low-cost and abundant source of energy. It is mined from underground mines or surface mines all around the world.

Utility coal is used in power plants to produce electricity. The coal is burned to heat water, which produces steam. The steam turns turbines, which generate electricity. The electricity is then sent to homes and businesses through power lines.

One of the benefits of utility coal is that it can be stored easily and is available in large quantities. This makes it an ideal fuel for power plants that need a reliable and consistent source of energy. However, the burning of coal also produces greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change.

In recent years, there has been a push to move away from reliance on coal for energy production and towards cleaner sources of energy, such as wind and solar power. Nevertheless, coal is still widely used in many countries and is expected to remain an important source of energy for the foreseeable future.
