Does coal energy belong to new energy?

Coal energy does not belong to new energy.

New energy refers to green, renewable, clean and efficient energy, mainly including solar energy, wind energy, hydropower and geothermal energy. Compared with traditional energy, new energy has the characteristics of less pollution, low emission, low loss and renewable, which is also the trend of energy development in the future.

Coal is a kind of fossil energy, which has been formed through geological changes for hundreds of millions of years. Its main components are carbon and hydrogen. Coal is a kind of fuel and one of the most widely used energy sources in people's production and life. In the energy consumption structure, coal occupies an important position and has the characteristics of stability, reliability and cheapness. Although coal plays an important role in the energy consumption structure, it is quite different from new energy sources in nature, characteristics and uses.

Comparison between coal and new energy sources

1. Coal is a kind of non-renewable energy, and its resources are limited. With the increase of coal consumption, its resource reserves will gradually decrease. And new energy is renewable energy, which can be continuously supplemented by nature.

2. The use of coal will release a lot of carbon dioxide and other pollutants, which will do great harm to the environment and human health. However, new energy will hardly produce pollution and have little impact on the environment and human health.

3. As a traditional energy source, coal faces great pressure in terms of energy utilization efficiency and resource utilization efficiency. New energy has the characteristics of high efficiency and recycling, and has high energy utilization efficiency and resource utilization efficiency.
