Combustion of coal produces heat which converts water into steam. The produced steam is used in many industries including power generation. However, combustion of coal produces greenhouse gases and gases contribute to acid rain. Combustion optimization reduces coal consumption and contributes towards sustainable development. Most of the coal is used to generate electricity. So, combustion optimization in coal fired boiler used in power generation increases efficiency, reduces cost, conserves natural resources and protects environment. The coal being a heterogenous material and having different characteristics, needs optimization of combustion for improved efficiency. The paper describes efficiency improvement of combustion for coal having different proximate analysis parameters.
