Lignite

• A type of hard coal that contains 80-90% carbon.

• A brown coal that is a soft sedimentary rock that sometimes shows traces of plant structure; it typically contains 60 to 70 percent carbon.

• A mineral used in the production of steel.

• A type of natural gas found in coal seams.

Commercial energy sources

• Energy sources that are bought and sold, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

• Energy sources that are renewable and sustainable, such as solar and wind.

• Energy sources that are free and available in nature, such as sunlight and wind.

• Energy sources that are used for heating and cooking, such as wood and biomass.
