Coal fired power generation is a coal power plant or coal fired power station that burns coal to generate electricity. Fluidized bed combustion, coal cyclone furnace, pulverized coal firing, and gasification are some of the technologies used in the generation of electricity. Coal fired power stations produce one-third of the world's electricity, but air pollution is the main cause of hundreds of early deaths every year. The coal is burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The heat of the furnace converts the boiler water into steam, which is then used to spin the turbines that turn on the generator. Thus the chemical energy stored in coal is gradually converted into thermal energy, then into mechanical energy, and finally into electrical energy.
