• Coal, oil, and solid biomass together provide more than 80% of India's energy requirements. The growth of industry and the production of power has been supported by coal, which continues to be the dominant fuel in the energy mix.
• Burning coal produces steam, which rotates turbines (devices for producing rotary mechanical power) to produce electricity in coal-fired power plants. Many enterprises and industries possess their own power plants, some of which use coal to produce energy for internal consumption, primarily in combined heat and power plants.
• Coal. From 2015 through 2020, the United States experienced significant retirements of its coal-fired electric generating capacity, which averaged 11.0 GW year. In 2021, coal capacity retirements slowed to 4.6 GW.
