Indoor air quality (IAQ) research deals with the presence, levels, health effects, and control of physical, chemical, and biological factors in indoor environments, including homes, workplaces, and vehicles. IAQ research in industrialized countries has examined hundreds of specific factors (e.g., temperature, various chemicals, and mold), sources of pollution environment (e.g., environmental tobacco smoke, occupational factors, consumer cleaning products, and moisture), and control technologies (e.g., ventilation).

Coal use today is no longer evocative of dirty power plants with polluting black smoke billowing from their smokestacks. Many of these plants have been transformed through technology to operate more efficiently and with significantly lower emissions. Some fire coal with other waste materials and others produce both electric power and heat transmission. Cases of plant retrofits and their new performance statistics are documented by various institutions, including the Energy Information Administration (http:// www.eia.doe.gov) and the World Coal Institute (http://www.wci-coal.com). The following examples highlight clean coal use throughout the world: (more…)

The largest use of coal today is in the generation of electric power by electric utilities. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 65% of coal mined in the world is used for power generation. The next largest use of coal is in the production of coke for the iron and steel industries. Coal is still used for industrial heating and even commercial heating and residential heating in certain countries. (more…)

Natural gas and oil are common source energy used to give electricity. How efficient is coal if we compare to these other source of energy? With respect to security of supply, coal has a clear advantage. The United States has about 300 million recoverable tons of coal. This amount is sufficiency to last 300 years if we are consuming coal in the same ratio that we used today. In addition, carbon is a versatile and cheap source of fuel. Coal can be used as a solid fuel or converted into a gas to replace expensive imported fuels. (more…)

Coal is still used to a small extent for home heating and cooking. In the homes of more affluent nations, coal is used for recreational or nostalgic reasons, rather than for routine heating and cooking. Coal stoves designed for this purpose are aesthetically attractive and are engineered for efficient operation with near-zero indoor air pollution. In contrast, coal used for cooking and heating in developing countries is burned in crude stoves with inadequate ventilation. In more developed countries, it is common to see coal source of energy.

To determine the effects of past climate trends on global energy consumption, the econometric equations providing the degree day elasticities reported previously are combined into an econometric simulation model. The endogenous variables determined by the model include energy demand in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of the U.S. economy and the derived demand for primary fuels used in electric power generation.

Coal is an important energy source and energy consumption in United States as well as worldwide. It will remain so for many years particularly in many developing countries. Fossil fuels stay as the main energy sources to the U.S. economy, but we can not ignore the importance of coal for decades. Coal production provides the price stability and will continue to be an significant source for electricity generation. Coal utilization is the major source of hydrogen in the coming hydrogen-based energy economy and it will be a crucial source of gas to liquid process of fuels energy.
