4. Definition of Coal
Coal is a combustible, sedimentary, organic rock.
It is composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
It is formed from vegetation, which has been consolidated between other rocks and altered by the combined effects of pressure and heat over millions of years to form coal seams.

5. Coal mining in Pakistan
Pakistan has about 185 billion tonnes of coal
Pakistan tops in lignite coal-bearing countries in Asia as 97% of coal reserves of Pakistan belong to lignite and remaining only 3% are sub-bituminous to bituminous.
Coal reserves are widely spread in Pakistan
Balochistan: Khost, Sor Range, Degari, Mach, Shahrig, Harnai
Punjab: Dandot Pidh
KPK: Makerwal
Sindh: Lakhra, Jhimpir, Sonda, Thar
Coal is mainly imported from South Africa and Australia in Pakistan
It is transported through railways

8. Uses of coal Mainly used in brick kilns and coal briquetting
Source for power generation
Used to make coke
Gases emitted during process of coke making are used to make fertilizers, solvents, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other products
Used in households and thermal power stations
Used for heating purposes such as in boilers
Used in cement factories
Gasification of coal for cheap fuel

9. Thar coal project
It is the second largest proven coal reserves in the world, spread over 9,100 square km with 175 billion tonnes of coal.
The United States Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Pakistan have jointly unearthed huge coal seams in Sindh
The indigenous Thermal Coal is a cheap cost fuel source for power generation.
The Thar lignite can be converted into gas and liquid petroleum products and can be used in cement and fertilizer industries
The lignite from Thar can also be transported and utilized by retro-fitted Thermal Power Plants in the country

10. Promotion of coal in Pakistan
Give priority to extraction of coal
Build more coal reserves
Introduce different methods of mining to extract bituminous and anthracite
Create awareness of its uses so companies fund in extracting coal
Introduce new technology and educate miners about their usage
Government should build proper infrastructure so less deaths occur
Media can play a key role by advertising importance of coal

11. Top Five Facts of Coal
Coal-fired power stations generate 40% of global electricity.
About 70% of steel is created using coke, a high-carbon fuel made from coal.
The dandruff and head lice-zapping power of some shampoos is thanks to coal tar.
Coal can be turned into ammonia fertiliser by breaking it into carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas.
Waste ash from coal-fired power stations can replace cement in concrete.
