International Classification | Atlas of Coal Geology
Traditional coal classification schemes, such as the rank-based system of ASTM D388 (ASTM, 1996a) or the original ISO (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) International Classification of Hard Coals by Type, were developed using one type of coal, specifically, vitrinite-rich coals. The goal of international codification …

Coal | Uses, Types, Pollution, & Facts | Britannica
Coal is defined as having more than 50 percent by weight (or 70 percent by volume) carbonaceous matter produced by the compaction and hardening of altered plant remains—namely, peat deposits. Different varieties of coal arise because of differences in the kinds of plant material (coal type), degree of coalification (coal rank), and range of …

There are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon-rich, and harder material.

What is Coal? Coal is an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation and preservation of plant materials, usually in a swamp environment. Coal is a combustible rock and, along with oil and natural gas, it is one of the three most important fossil fuels.Coal has a wide range of uses; the most important use is for the generation of electricity.
