Anthracite is a better type of coal than bituminous, anthracite is the best type of coal because it is the purest type of coal as it has the highest amount of carbon content present in it. It is made up of 90-95% of carbon content, so, it has a higher calorific value and burns without a smoke. Anthracite is relatively a harder, an older and a purer type of coal as compared to bituminous. Anthracite also burns without a smoke, so it is cleaner and is a more eco-friendly fuel. The only advantage bituminous has over anthracite is that it is present in more quantity than anthracite which is unfortunate because 70-75% of all coals are bituminous and anthracite covers only 5% of all types of coals.
