In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of the coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity. Advantages of coal include:

• Cheaper than Other Fossil Fuels.
• Easy to Store.
• Converted into Other Forms.
• Produces Minimal Waste.
• Creates Employment.
• Highly Compatible Fuel.
• Safer Alternative Source of Energy. 
• Simple Burning Process.

Natural gas also contains smaller amounts of heavier hydrocarbons such as propane and butane, as well as small amounts of highly toxic hydrogen sulfide. It's fracking uses and pollutes large volumes of water, potential groundwater pollution from fracking. It is also used to fuel cars and trucks and to power turbines that produce electricity in power plants and emergency generators. This is better than crude oils and coal because natural gas is often found above deposits of crude oil. It also exists in tightly held deposits between layers of shale rock and can be extracted through fracking (Case study). When a natural gas deposit is tapped, propane and butane gases within the deposit can be removed first, by liquefying them under high pressure. ]]> 2023-03-22 16:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gonzalez_m2/i5kpko4ej1ox1hkm/wish/2527494025 https://padlet.com/gonzalez_m2/i5kpko4ej1ox1hkm/wish/2527494233 Coal-fired power plants provide affordable, reliable and constant power that is available on demand to meet energy consumption needs.

Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes. Low levels of trace gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and helium are also usually present.

Natural gas also occurs with deposits of crude oil, and this natural gas is called associated natural gas. Natural gas deposits are found on land, and some are offshore and deep under the ocean floor. Natural gas found in coal deposits is called coalbed methane

Natural gas is a mixture of gasses like methane (CH₄). In terms of fossil fuels natural is one that would be better for the environment however, some people would argue there are still disadvantages when using natural gas. Although this may be true, other choices such as coal crude oil have more, some would even say worse disadvantages, such as the use of crude oil can result in water pollution from oil spills and leaks damaging thousands of ocean organisms. Similarly, the use of coal can result in fine particles and toxic mercury emissions that threat human health. On the other hand natural gas has ample supply, is a versatile fule, medium net energy, and emits less CO₂ and other pollutants than other fossil fuels when burned.

crude oil is an advantage because it allows us to have ample supplies for many decades. Crude Oil also has medium net energy and low land disruption. It is also a very efficient distribution system.
