Products Discription

Coal's pivotal role in history emerged during the Industrial Revolution (mid-18th to early 19th century). This period marked the transformation of coal from a regional fuel to a cornerstone of global industrial development, due to several interlinked advancements:

  • Steam Technology: Coal-powered steam engines, invented by James Watt and others, revolutionized transportation (railways and steamships), manufacturing, and mechanized agriculture.
  • Metallurgy: The use of coking coal in blast furnaces allowed for the mass production of iron and steel — vital to infrastructure, machinery, and military capabilities.
  • Urbanization & Energy: Coal-fired boilers provided heat and electricity to emerging urban centers, leading to rapid urban growth and economic expansion.
