Coal is used primarily as a fuel. While coal has been known and used for thousands of years, its usage was limited until the Industrial Revolution. With the invention of the steam engine, coal consumption increased. In 2020, coal supplied about a quarter of the world's primary energy and over a third of its electricity.[5] Some iron and steel-making and other industrial processes burn coal.

There are several international standards for coal.[46] The classification of coal is generally based on the content of volatiles. However the most important distinction is between thermal coal (also known as steam coal), which is burnt to generate electricity via steam; and metallurgical coal (also known as coking coal), which is burnt at high temperature to make steel.

The development of the Industrial Revolution led to the large-scale use of coal, as the steam engine took over from the water wheel. In 1700, five-sixths of the world's coal was mined in Britain. Britain would have run out of suitable sites for watermills by the 1830s if coal had not been available as a source of energy.[65] In 1947 there were some 750,000 miners in Britain[66] but the last deep coal mine in the UK closed in 2015.[67]

A grade between bituminous coal and anthracite was once known as "steam coal" as it was widely used as a fuel for steam locomotives. In this specialized use, it is sometimes known as "sea coal" in the United States.[68] Small "steam coal", also called dry small steam nuts (DSSN), was used as a fuel for domestic water heating.

During gasification, the coal is mixed with oxygen and steam while also being heated and pressurized. During the reaction, oxygen and water molecules oxidize the coal into carbon monoxide (CO), while also releasing hydrogen gas (H2). This used to be done in underground coal mines, and also to make town gas, which was piped to customers to burn for illumination, heating, and cooking.

When coal is used for electricity generation, it is usually pulverized and then burned in a furnace with a boiler (see also Pulverized coal-fired boiler).[97] The furnace heat converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines which turn generators and create electricity.[98] The thermodynamic efficiency of this process varies between about 25% and 50% depending on the pre-combustion treatment, turbine technology (e.g. supercritical steam generator) and the age of the plant.[99][100]

A few integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants have been built, which burn coal more efficiently. Instead of pulverizing the coal and burning it directly as fuel in the steam-generating boiler, the coal is gasified to create syngas, which is burned in a gas turbine to produce electricity (just like natural gas is burned in a turbine). Hot exhaust gases from the turbine are used to raise steam in a heat recovery steam generator which powers a supplemental steam turbine. The overall plant efficiency when used to provide combined heat and power can reach as much as 94%.[101] IGCC power plants emit less local pollution than conventional pulverized coal-fueled plants; however the technology for carbon capture and storage (CCS) after gasification and before burning has so far proved to be too expensive to use with coal.[102][103] Other ways to use coal are as coal-water slurry fuel (CWS), which was developed in the Soviet Union, or in an MHD topping cycle. However these are not widely used due to lack of profit.

About 8000 Mt of coal are produced annually, about 90% of which is hard coal and 10% lignite. As of 2018[update] just over half is from underground mines.[110] More accidents occur during underground mining than surface mining. Not all countries publish mining accident statistics so worldwide figures are uncertain, but it is thought that most deaths occur in coal mining accidents in China: in 2017 there were 375 coal mining related deaths in China.[111] Most coal mined is thermal coal (also called steam coal as it is used to make steam to generate electricity) but metallurgical coal (also called "metcoal" or "coking coal" as it is used to make coke to make iron) accounts for 10% to 15% of global coal use.[112]

In this decarbonisation route, traditional fuels (coal or natural gas) are reacting with air or \(\hbox {O}_{2}\) and with or without steam to produce mainly synthesis gas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (\(\hbox {H}_{2}\)), also known as fuel gas or syngas as shown in Fig. 1. The main two processes for producing syngas are shown in Eqs. (1) and (2) for partial oxidation and steam reforming reactions, respectively (Jansen et al. 2015).

In the case of using steam reforming, the typical reformer products are 43% \(\hbox {H}_{2}\), 11% CO, 21% \(\hbox {H}_{2}\hbox {O}\) and 6% \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) (Osman et al. 2018a). When the partial oxidation and steam reforming are deployed in pre-combustion simultaneously, the process is called auto-thermal reforming, where the heat released from the exothermic nature of the partial oxidation can drive the endothermic steam reforming reaction. The syngas mixture is then cooled down and cleaned up from impurities such as hydrogen sulphide, hydrochloric acid, mercury and carbonyl sulphide (Cao et al. 2020). The purified syngas is then subjected to the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) by reacting the CO with steam (\(\hbox {H}_{2}\)O) as shown in Eq. (3), to increase the % \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) and facilitate the \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) separation in later stages along with the production of \(\hbox {H}_{2}\) fuel as decarbonised fuel, which only produces \(\hbox {H}_{2}\)O when combusted.

Finally, \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) is separated through various physical and chemical absorption processes for either storage or utilisation (Kumar et al. 2018; Li et al. 2019a). In the chemical industry, the pre-combustion approach is mature and has been utilised for \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) capture for nearly a century (higher than 95 years). For power generation purposes, the \(\hbox {H}_{2}\)-rich fuel can be used in a Rankine + Brayton combine cycle plant. Although \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) separation herein is much easier and requires lower energy than other techniques such as post-combustion, it still needs energy for reforming, air separation and improvements in the efficiency of energy recovery within the process. Additionally, further purification stages are required when oil or coal is utilised to eliminate impurities, ash and sulphur-containing compounds. In the first generation of the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), the main cause for efficiency loss was the WGSR step, which was responsible for 44% of the total efficiency loss. This was due to the energy required for steam generation along with the heat released within the WGSR process as it is an equilibrium limited and exothermic process.

Pre-combustion technology consists of an air separation unit for oxygen separation (not mandatory). Then the fuel is reacting with air or \(\hbox {O}_{2}\) to produce mainly synthesis gas, which is then sent to the shift reactor unit to produce hydrogen and \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\). The produced hydrogen can be used to fuel electric cars or to produce electricity through a gas turbine, while the flue gas is sent to the heat recovery and steam generation unit for electricity production. Finally, the \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) is compressed and dehydrated for transport and storage purposes

The decarbonisation of the industrial sector will require an assessment of the technology readiness level (TRL) of different carbon capture, storage and utilisation techniques. Pre-combustion (natural gas processing) is the only capture technology that has reached commercial scale (TRL9) (Bui et al. 2018a). Other capture technologies such as adsorption post-combustion, oxyfuel combustion (coal power plants), pre-combustion (IGCC), membrane polymeric (natural gas), BECCS technology and direct air capture are in the demonstration scale (TRL7), while, in pilot-scale (TRL6), there are membrane polymeric (power plants), post-combustion (biphasic solvents), chemical looping combustion as well as calcium carbonate looping technologies. The remaining capture technologies are ranging from laboratory-scale plant (TRL5) to proof of concept (TRL3) such as membrane dense inorganic, oxyfuel combustion (gas turbine), ionic liquid post-combustion and low-temperature separation pre-combustion technologies.

Activated carbon materials Over the ages, the porous carbon adsorbents have emerged as proper substances for \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) uptake ascribed to the physical adsorption of \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) on their surface, signifies the energy that demands the regeneration process was declined. Besides, the excellent \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) adsorption will be performed ascribed to their porous feature. Also, these materials can be efficiently qualified to combine exceptional surface features and necessary beneficial groups that can assist in enhancing the resulting interaction between the adsorbent substances and \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) which are crucial for providing an extraordinary \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) adsorption potential (Li et al. 2019b; Singh et al. 2019). The activated carbons were fabricated of carbonaceous substances through pyrolysis at high temperatures and special pressure in the activation furnace (Kosheleva et al. 2019). The resulting from this process is extraordinary surface area and heterogeneous pore structure. Besides, an inert gas (nitrogen or argon) was applied in the carbonisation step to eliminate any volatile parts to fabricate enriched carbon specimens. After that, the fabricated specimen was activated in the existence of the oxidising agent (oxygen, steam or carbon dioxide) at a wide range of elevated temperatures (Mahapatra et al. 2012).

The carbon dioxide was preferably utilised as an activation agent than steam ascribing to its capacity to produce particles that have tight micropores nature that satisfies the characteristics of molecules of carbon dioxide, while steam is beneficial to compose particles with mesopores feature (González et al. 2009; Román et al. 2008). 2b1af7f3a8
