2. INTRODUCTION
Coal was mined in America in the early 18th century, and
commercial mining started around 1730 in Midlothian, Virginia.
There were many coalfields, but the oldest were in Newcastle and
Durham, South Wales, Scotland and the Midlands.
Coal is primarily used for the generation of electricity, with much
smaller volumes used for industrial process heat and in steel
production.
Over 40 percent of the world’s electricity is produced from coal.
As such, it is an important fuel source and will remain so for decades
due to its low cost and abundance.
