Coal is a non renewable source of energy like natural gas or crude oil. It is a fossil fuel and like all the fuels in this genre, its formation started over 350 million years back. The gradual transformation of the organic constituents of plants resulted in today’s coal reserves. The first coal production started in U.S in the year 1748. 2  In the year 1750, Dr. Thomas Walker first discovered the use of coal in Kentucky. 3  From the year 1820 to 1860 Kentucky coal production shot up from 382 tons to 285,760 tons per year.

The power demand is increasing every year, so naturally the consumption of coal has been increasing along with it. In 1999 the total world coal consumption was found to be 2248.9 million tons and in the year 2009 it was found to be 3286.4 million tons.The R/P ratio for the world was found to be 119 years from 2009 considering the same rate of production and consumption.

A coal-fired power station has a working life of approximately 40 years but the existing stations are inefficient and old and the heavy coal transports they require dirty the nation’s roads. Today 90 percent of South Africa’s energy comes from coal.75% of the nation currently has electricity, but the need for electricity is calculated to grow faster than the supply and not even the Medupi installation will be sufficient in a few years. coal-fired power station has a working life of approximately 40 years but the existing stations are inefficient and old and the heavy coal transports they require dirty the nation’s roads.
