coal-fired power

Coal-fired power involves burning coal, a fossil fuel, to generate electricity. The process starts with coal being burned in a boiler, producing heat. This heat converts water into steam, which then spins turbines connected to generators, producing electrical energy. While coal is a reliable and abundant energy source, it releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants that contribute to climate change and air pollution. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources aims to reduce these environmental impacts.
