RAG Coal

RAG coal, originating from the regions of the Ruhr (Rheinische Aktiengesellschaft) and lignite (brown coal) areas in Germany, refers to coal used primarily for energy production and industrial processes. It includes both hard coal (bituminous or anthracite) and lignite, a softer, lower-rurity coal. RAG coal has historically been significant in Europe's energy landscape, especially in Germany, supporting power plants and steel manufacturing. Its use impacts energy prices and environmental considerations due to its carbon emissions. Overall, RAG coal is a key energy resource with economic and ecological implications depending on its application and management.
