What is Coal?
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring
in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. Throughout history,
coal has been used as an energy resource, primarily burned for the production of
electricity and/or heat, and is also used for industrial purposes, such as refining metals.
A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter is converted into peat, which in turn is
converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, after that bituminous coal, and
lastly anthracite. This involves biological and geological processes that take place over
a long period.
Coal is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide, as well
as
one
of
the

of
carbon
dioxide releases. Coal-fired electric power generation emits around 2,000 pounds of
carbon dioxide for every megawatt-hour generated, which is almost double the
approximately 1100 pounds of carbon dioxide released by a natural gas-fired electric
plant per megawatt-hour generated.
Coal is extracted from the ground by coal mining, either underground by shaft mining,
or at ground level by open pit mining extraction. Since 1983 the world top coal producer
has been China. In 2011 China produced 3,520 millions of tonnes of coal 49.5% of
7,695 million tons world coal production. In 2011 other large producers were United
States (993 million tons), India (589), European Union (576) and Australia (416). In
2010 the largest exporters were Australia with 328 million tons (27.1% of world coal
export) and Indonesia with 316 million tons (26.1%), while the largest importers
were Japan with 207 million tons (17.5% of world coal import), China with 195 million
tons (16.6%) and South Korea with 126 million tons (10.7%).
Formation
At various times in the geologic past, the Earth had dense forests in low-lying wetland
areas. Due to natural processes such as flooding, these forests were buried
underneath soil. As more and more soil deposited over them, they were compressed.
The temperature also rose as they sank deeper and deeper. As the process continued
the plant matter was protected from biodegradation and oxidation, usually by mud or
acidic water. This trapped the carbon in immense peat bogs that were eventually
covered and deeply buried by sediments. Under high pressure and high temperature,

dead vegetation was slowly converted to coal. As coal contains mainly carbon, the
conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonization.
Types of Coal
As geological processes apply pressure to dead biotic material over time, under
suitable conditions it is transformed successively into:
Peat, considered to be a precursor of coal, has industrial importance as a fuel in some
regions, for example, Ireland and Finland. In its dehydrated form, peat is a highly
effective absorbent for fuel and oil spills on land and water. It is also used as a
conditioner for soil to make it more able to retain and slowly release water.
Lignite, or brown coal, is the lowest rank of coal and used almost exclusively as fuel for
electric power generation. Jet, a compact form of lignite, is sometimes polished and
has been used as an ornamental stone since the Upper Palaeolithic.
Sub-bituminous coal, whose properties range from those of lignite to those of
bituminous coal, is used primarily as fuel for steam-electric power generation and is an
important source of light aromatic hydrocarbons for the chemical synthesis industry.
Bituminous coal is a dense sedimentary rock, usually black, but sometimes dark brown,
often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material; it is used primarily as fuel in
steam-electric power generation, with substantial quantities used for heat and power
applications in manufacturing and to make coke.
"Steam coal" is a grade between bituminous coal and anthracite, once widely used as
a fuel for steam locomotives. In this specialized use, it is sometimes known as "seacoal" in the US.[15] Small steam coal (dry small steam nuts or DSSN) was used as a
fuel for domestic water heating.
Anthracite, the highest rank of coal, is a harder, glossy black coal used primarily for
residential and commercial space heating. It may be divided further into
metamorphically altered bituminous coal and "petrified oil", as from the deposits in
Pennsylvania.
Graphite, technically the highest rank, is difficult to ignite and is not commonly used as
fuel it is mostly used in pencils and, when powdered, as a lubricant.

The International Energy Agencys Clean Coal Centre (IEA CCC) has released a new
report on the use and prospects for coal in the Philippines. It is the latest in a series
examining coal and clean coal technology prospects in the major economies in the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Economic growth is modest by the
standards of the industrialising Asian nations, and far behind the likes of China. The
average economic growth of around 4% is enviable by OECD standards but, for the
region, is fairly modest and has not kept pace with the rise in population.
The governments Philippines Energy Plan recognises the need to diversify the energy
sector and to become more energy independent. The plan aims to increase the use of
indigenous energy resources by 2030. While there is interest in expanding renewable
energy, fossil fuels are currently the key energy resources and dominate primary
energy demand with around an 86% share of the energy mix.
The main driver for energy policy in the Philippines is achieving energy independence
through use of indigenous energy resources while promoting reforms in the power
market. However, the geographical nature of the Philippines with around 7100 islands
covering 300,000 km2 with 20 active volcanoes and mountainous terrain makes it
difficult to provide the entire population of 94 million with electricity.

A major issue is the increasing energy demand, coupled with a population growing at
an annual rate of 2.3%. Electricity shortages remain a major problem. The government
programme for energy development places more focus on renewable energy, but
whether this will satisfy the growing demand for reliable electricity is questionable. The
country remains reliant on oil imports. Historically, the Philippines has been dependent
on imported oil to meet its energy demand. In recent years the government has
undertaken several measures to encourage a greater understanding of the countrys
resources. Hydrocarbon reserves have been identified with a Norwegian-funded study
finding twelve basins with gas and oil deposits.

Although the energy sector has undergone deregulation and privatisation of generators
this has yet to trickle down in benefits to energy consumers. The Philippines has one
of the highest prices for electricity in Asia and is still heavily subsidised. The
introduction of feed-in tariffs for increasing renewables, while a laudable policy, is likely
to meet widespread opposition if electricity prices increase further. Roughly 13% of the
population live on less than US$ 1/day, and a third live below the poverty line.

Coal Demand
With the cement industry, power generating plants and process industry as major coal
users, coal consumption for the year 2005 reached 33.76 MMBFOE or 1.45 percent
lower than the 2004 consumption figure of 34.45 MMBFOE.
Coal consumption of the industrial sector reached 7.3 MMBFOE in 2005, 8.75 percent
lower than the 2004 level of 8 MMBFOE. This is primarily due to the decreased
consumption of some of the local cement factories and coal-fired power plants.

The countrys coal requirements are sourced from domestic production and
importation. As of 2005, total importation reached 6.3 MMMT*, 50% of which came
from Indonesia, 33% from China, 10% from Australia and 7% from Vietnam.
Coal consumption for 2006 as of December 12 is 9.5 MMT, 73% of which for power
generation, 22.5 % for cement production and 3.75% for other industrial operations.
A joint collaboration between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and
DOE was launched to determine the methane gas content and adsorptive
capacity of Philippine coals. The recent study from the USGS
entitled Assessment of Philippine Coal Bed Methane submitted to DOE in
2005 identified several coals, from lignite to semi-anthracite, in the country that
possess large gas storage capacity compared with coals in known coalfields in
the US. With the gas holding capacity of coals in the Philippines coalfields
known, a detailed study was proposed to determine the amount of Coalbed
Methane (CBM) resource and prove recoverable reserve potential. Coalbed
methane is an emerging natural gas resource that has evolved worldwide as an
alternative clean-burning fossil fuel.

Research on coal market development with the view of providing sustainable market
for local coal is likewise being undertaken. This activity aims to stabilize the domestic
coal mining industry to enable the local coal production to compete with imported coal
from Indonesia, Australia and other coal exporting countries.
The combustion of coal and other fossil fuels emits oxides of Sulfur (SOX) and
Nitrogen (Nox) as well as Carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere but these are
