The most abundantly available fossil fuel in India is coal. The three forms of coal are :
(i) Lignite: It is a low grade brown coal, which is soft with high moisture content.
(ii) Bituminous: It is the most popular coal used for commercial purposes mainly for smelting of iron.It is found deep under the earth with high temperatures.
(iii) Anthracite: It is the highest quality hard coal.

Coal is the most abundantly available fossil fuel in India. Importance of its different forms are as follows
(i)Peat
Decaying plants in swamps produce peat.
It is burnt as fuel or applied to the soil to improve the texture or raise its water-retaining property.
(ii)Lignite
It has 60-70% carbon, brown in colour, soft and having high moisture content.
It is used for electricity generation.
It has lowest heat content per kg.
(iii)Bituminous
It is used for commercial purpose especially ideal for smelting iron in blast furnaces.
It has 75-90% carbon content, dense sedimentary rock, usually black in colour and has medium heat content per kg.
It is also used as making coke.
(iv)Anthracite
It is used in the metal smelting and fabrication industries especially used as a reduction agent for various applications i.e. briquetting charcoal, iron-ore pellets and other uses.
It has more than 90% carbon content per kg and its heating content per kg is highest.
It is also used in residential and commercial space heating....hope it helps...
