Coal-based thermal power

Coal-based thermal power generates electricity by burning coal to produce heat. This heat converts water into steam under high pressure, which then spins large turbines connected to generators. As the turbines turn, they produce electricity that is sent to homes and businesses. Coal plants are a common energy source because coal is abundant and inexpensive. However, burning coal releases pollutants and greenhouse gases, contributing to environmental concerns. Despite this, coal remains a significant component of many countries' power infrastructure due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness.
