Everything about Solid Fuel totally explained
Solid fuel refers to various types of
solid material that are used as
fuel to produce
energy and provide
heating, usually released through
combustion. Solid fuels include
wood (see
wood fuel),
charcoal,
peat,
coal,
Hexamine fuel tablets, and pellets made from wood (see
wood pellets),
corn,
wheat,
rye and other
grains.
Solid-fuel rocket technology also uses solid fuel (see
solid propellants).
Solid fuels have long been used by humanity to
create fire. Coal was the fuel source which enabled the
industrial revolution, from firing
furnaces, to running
steam engines. Wood was also extensively used to run
steam locomotives. Both peat and coal are still used in
electricity generation today.
The use of some solid fuels (eg. coal) is restricted or prohibited in some
urban areas, due to unsafe levels of toxic emissions. The use of other solid fuels such as wood is increasing as heating technology and the availability of good quality fuel improves. In some areas,
smokeless coal is often the only solid fuel used. In Ireland, peat
briquettes are used as smokeless fuel. They are also used to start a coal fire.
