The flowchart illustrates how electricity is generated from one type of coal.
Overall, the production is a several-step process. It begins with coal as a raw material and ends with the generated electricity.
Firstly, the coal is extracted from mines and subsequently crushed into smaller pieces. These pieces are then put into a large coal cart and delivered to the gasifier where it is heated and turned into gas. The gas is then transferred to the cooling unit, where it is cooled down to reduce its temperature and separated from waste heat.
Afterwards, the cool gas is subjected to a cleaning process in order to remove any remaining impurities and harmful substances that could affect efficiency. Then, purified gas is transferred to a gas power plant, where it is separated into waste heat and electricity. Finally, the produced electricity is supplied to households and industries. It can then be used for various daily and industrial purposes
