How coal mines work

Coal is extracted either from surface (open-pit or strip) mines, where overburden is removed to expose the seams, or from underground mines reached by shafts and tunnels. Mined coal is usually crushed, washed and graded before being shipped to power plants or steelworks.

Thermal coal fuels power stations, while higher-grade metallurgical (coking) coal is used to make steel. Coal mines are also a major source of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.
