Advantages & Disadvantages of Natural Gas. Natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil fuels, producing half the carbon dioxide as coal and about a third less than oil. It also emits fewer amounts of toxic chemicals like nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. In the U.S. market, it is an abundant resource and currently the cheapest source of ...

Also, coal energy is independent of climatic conditions. Scalable: The electric power that can be obtained from the coal energy can be easily scalable. That means that we can have 20 MW or 20,000 MW coal power plant for electricity generation. Also, due to the higher calorific value of the coal, it easily burns producing more coal energy.

This increases the efficiency of the coal as a fuel and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, when the coal is burned. In Victoria the brown coal is upgraded by the Coldry Process. A mechanical shear is used to crush the coal into small particles, releasing water that was held in the pores (holes) in the coal.

Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes—or even in many, many lifetimes. Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas.Carbon is the main element in fossil fuels.For this reason, the time period that fossil fuels formed (about 360-300 million years ago) is called the Carboniferous Period.
