The coal industry refers to the sector of the economy involved in the extraction, processing, and distribution of coal, a fossil fuel composed primarily of carbon that is used for energy production and industrial processes. It encompasses activities such as mining, transportation, and the sale of coal, as well as the operation of coal-fired power plants that generate electricity. The industry plays a significant role in meeting energy demands, particularly in countries where coal is a dominant energy source. However, it is also associated with environmental concerns, including greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and impacts on land and water resources. The coal industry faces challenges related to the transition to renewable energy sources and the adoption of cleaner technologies.
