Coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate electricity. It is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning).
Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel in the various countries majorly are United States, Russia, Australia, China, India, Indonesia, South Africa and many more.
India is 2nd largest Consumer, Importer and Producer of Coal after China. Coastal Trade Ventures (CTV) provides a complete mine-to-plant solution, ensuring industries receive the right coal for their operational and strategic needs.
Anthracite
Highest rank of coal with superior carbon content, low impurities, and high energy density.
Burns cleaner and hotter, ideal for residential heating and metallurgical processes.
Bituminous
Mid-rank coal widely used for electricity generation and steel production.
Offers a strong balance of energy density and combustibility.
Sub-bituminous
Lower rank coal, primarily for power generation.
More abundant and cost-effective, though with higher moisture content.
Lignite (Brown Coal)
Lowest rank, with the highest moisture content and lowest carbon content.
Used mainly in power plants near mining sites due to transport inefficiency.
