Types of Coal Peat Peat is not typically considered actual coal but is the very first step in making coal where the decaying plant material is beginning to be compressed and heated. It can still go through the same coal drying process to help it burn, and is used for fuel in some regions of the world. Lignite

view moreWhat are the 4 different types of coal? Coal is classified into four main types, or ranks: anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite. The ranking depends on the types and amounts of carbon the coal contains and on the amount of heat energy the coal can produce. What is coal in BYJU's? Coal is a black hard rock, flammable in nature.

view moreAnthracite is a hard, black, shiny coal form which contains pretty much no moisture. It also has a very low volatile content and because of these factors coupled together, it burns with little or no smoke, meaning it is marketed as a smokeless fuel. Here at Pearson Fuels, we are the leading coal merchants for all your coal related needs.
view moreWhat are the types of coal? There are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon-rich, and harder material. The four ranks are: Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. Read More
