Mar 22, 2022Uses of Coal. Description. Power Generation. Steam coal, also known as thermal coal, provides a source of electricity. Power plants ground steam coal into a powder and fire it into a boiler to produce heat. The heat is used to turn water into steam. The steam powers a turbine that, along with an alternator, generates electricity.
