Option 3 : Lignite

  • Lignite is referred to as brown coal which is a soft, brown, combustible, sedimentary rock formed from naturally compressed peat.
  • It is considered the lowest rank of coal due to its relatively low heat content. 
Peat less than 40 to 55 per cent carbon
Anthracite 80 to 95 per cent carbon
Lignite 40 to 55 per cent carbon.
Bituminous 40 to 80 per cent carbon.
