Coal Power refers to electricity generated from burning coal as a fuel source. Coal is a non-renewable energy resource, which means that it cannot be replenished once it has been used up. It is extracted through mining and then burned in large furnaces or boilers to produce heat, which is used to generate steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Coal power plants are typically located near coal mines to reduce transportation costs and emissions. However, burning coal produces significant amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury, and other pollutants that can harm the environment and human health. As a result, there has been an increasing shift towards cleaner sources of energy like wind, solar or natural gas to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change impacts.
