The diagram illustrates the amount of energy lost in 100 units when it is generated from brown coal and when it is generated fro black coal.
Overall, it can be seen that when energy is produced from black coal, less of it is lost.
Looking at the details, when generating energy from black coal, fuel is transported to a power station. At this stage, 68 units of energy are lost. As a result, 32 units of energy are transported and distributed, during which 3 more units of electricity are lost. At the end, a consumer receives 29 units of energy, which is generated from black coal.
Meanwhile, while producing energy from brown coal, all the stages are similar except the amount of energy lost during the processes occuring at a power station. At this stage, 70 units of energy are lost in the process of extracting electricity from brown coal. Subsequently, a consumer receives 27 units of elecricity.
