Lignite, also known as brown coal, is a low-grade coal that is used primarily for electricity generation. It is a sedimentary rock formed from partially decayed plant material and is usually brown or black in color. Lignite is the lowest rank of coal and has a high moisture content, which makes it difficult to burn. It is mainly used in power plants to generate electricity, and is also used in the production of cement and fertilizer.
Lignite is mined in many countries around the world, including the United States, Germany, Russia, and China. It is a relatively inexpensive source of energy, but its use is limited due to its low energy content and high moisture content.
Some of the major companies in the lignite market include RWE, Vattenfall, E.ON, and Duke Energy. These companies are involved in the production, distribution, and sale of lignite. They also provide services related to the mining, transportation, and storage of lignite. Show Less Read more
