Coal power plant services
Hard coal and lignite are made of organic material, such as dead trees, shrubs and grasses. When this material accumulates in peatlands and undergoes the geochemical process of coalification under pressure and exclusion of air, hard coal or lignite develops. Hard coal is mined underground, brown coal in the open pit. As coal is one of the fossil fuels whose resources have been exhausted, energy policy is increasingly dispensing with coal mining and coal power.
