Thermal coal or steaming coal is burned for steam to run turbines to generate electricity either to public electricity grids or directly by industry consuming electrical power (such as chemical industries, paper manufacturers, cement industry and brickworks).
The power plants where the fossil fuel is burned are called thermal because they use heat energy. Coal burning produces emissions of carbon dioxide and sulfur. Power plants try to remove the sulfur by using low-sulfur coal (anthracite) and machines (scrubbers) to remove sulfur from the emissions.
