Coal is a combustible black or brownishblack sedimentary rock with a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests. Layers of dirt and rock covered the ...

Electricity in South Africa is mainly produced using coalfired power stations. In a coal station, coal is burned to heat water to produce steam. The steam turns a turbine, which turns a generator to produce electricity. There are alternative sources of energy besides coal, to drive turbines, such as wind, hydropower, sunheated steam, nuclear ...

It stands to reason that the less coal used per unit of electricity generated, the less CO2 is produced. One way to support the reduction of the amount of CO2 produced during this process is to improve the efficiency of the steam and gas turbines currently used in the generation process. These turbines convert the heat released (from burning ...
