Information about coal grade "B"
Coal grade "B" is brown coal, the youngest type of fossil fuel with a low degree of carbonization, formed from peat. It is characterized by high moisture (40-70%), ash content (25-40%), and calorific value ranging from 4000 to 5500 kcal/kg. Due to its good combustibility and affordable price, this coal is most commonly used in the communal sector (in stoves and boilers).
