Coal Industry

The coal industry involves the mining, processing, and distribution of coal, a fossil fuel used primarily for electricity generation and steel production. Coal is formed from ancient plants buried under layers of soil and rock. Its combustion releases energy, but it also emits greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. The industry has faced challenges due to environmental concerns, competition from renewable energy sources, and regulations aimed at reducing pollution. Despite this, coal remains a significant energy source in many countries, impacting economies, jobs, and energy policies worldwide. The transition to cleaner energy is reshaping its future.
