coal production
Coal production involves extracting coal, a fossil fuel, from underground mines or surface mines. It is primarily used for electricity generation and in industrial processes. The process begins with exploration to locate coal deposits, followed by mining, where large amounts of earth are removed to access the coal seams. Once extracted, the coal is crushed and prepared for transportation to power plants or other facilities. While coal is an abundant energy source, its use is associated with environmental concerns, such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, prompting a global shift towards cleaner energy alternatives.
