Introduction

Fueling the world's energy needs relies heavily

on coal and petroleum. These non-renewable
resources have been the primary source of
energy for decades. Despite the growing push
for renewable energy, coal and petroleum
remain crucial to meet the current demand.
This presentation provides an overview of the
two fuels and their impact on the future of
energy.
What is
Coal?
Coal is a black or brownish-black
sedimentary rock that forms from
the remains of plants that lived
millions of years ago. It is mainly
composed of carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen. Coal is used to
generate electricity and is also
used in the production of steel.
However, burning coal releases
harmful pollutants such as sulfur
dioxide and carbon dioxide,
contributing to climate change.
What is
Petroleum?
Petroleum, also known as crude
oil, is a fossil fuel formed from the
remains of ancient marine
organisms. It is a thick, dark
liquid that is refined into various
products such as gasoline, diesel,
and jet fuel. P etroleum is used to
fuel transportation and is also
used in the production of plastics
and other materials. However,
burning petroleum also releases
harmful pollutants into the
atmosphere.
Advantages of
Coal
One of the main advantages of coal
is its abundance and low cost. It is
also easy to transport and store.
Coal-fired power plants can be
built anywhere, providing a reliable
source of electricity. Additionally,
coal can be used in the production
of steel, which is a crucial material
in many industries.
Advantages of
Petroleum
One of the main advantages of
petroleum is its high energy density,
which makes it an efficient fuel for
transportation. It is also versatile, as
it can be refined into various
products. The petroleum industry
provides jobs and contributes to the
global economy.
 Conclusio
n
Coal and petroleum have been the primary sources of
energy for decades, but their negative impact on the
environment cannot be ignored. As the world continues to
face the challenges of climate change, it is crucial to
explore and invest in renewable energy sources. However,
coal and petroleum will remain important fuels for the
foreseeable future as we transition to a more sustainable
energy system.
