What else can I help you with?
A solid fuel which can be used in a boiler or an open fire?
One example of a solid fuel is coal. Coal was used in many early factories during the beginning of the industrial, but was phased out because it was not a clean burning fuel source.
What are some solid fuels?
Bagasse, peat moss, anthracite coal, lignite coal, petroleum coke and biomass are all solid fuels.
What are four fossil fuels?
it is peat,lignite,bitumirous coal,athracite. it is peat,lignite,bitumirous coal,athracite.
Another name for a coal deposit?
Vein and/or Peat (depending on reference, peat is the beginning form of coal).
Is peat the first stage of coal?
It can be, but not all peat becomes coal, and not all coal began as peat. Peat forms on the Earth's surface, while coal has to form within rock layers deep in the Earth. Coal takes many thousands of years to form. Peat forms more quickly, but only at about 1 mm depth per year. So neither can be considered a renewable form of energy.
How long for peat to turn into coal?
It takes millions of years for peat to slowly transform into coal through a process called coalification. Peat is the earliest stage of coal formation and with continued pressure and heat over time, it can progress into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, and finally anthracite coal.

What do the fossil fuels look like?

What are all of the fossil fuels?

What can peat become if compressed long enough?
this is the order from peat to coal, peat-lignite-bituminous-anthracite- the higher up the the types, the higher BTU burn you well get, as well as a cleaner burn, but it takes more energy to get it started.
What is the difference between peat and brown coal and black coal?
Peat is an early stage of coal formation with low carbon content and high moisture content. Brown coal, also known as lignite, has a higher carbon content and lower moisture content compared to peat. Black coal, including bituminous and anthracite coal, has the highest carbon content and is the most mature form of coal.
Which fossil fuel begins its formation as peat?
Peat and lignite (brown coal) are both beginning stages in the production of coal by natural processes. But coals are not all produced from peat.
