Coal Energy Sustainability Evolution and Future Role: A Review. Coal plays an important role in a sustainable future by continuing its evolution in the energy sector. Traditionally criticized, coal can be transformed into a more sustainable energy source with technological developments and renewable energy integration.
Although coal has been a widely used source in the energy sector in the past, it may conflict with sustainability goals due to carbon emissions and environmental impacts. However, with carbon capture technologies and energy efficiency studies, coal is being revised to contribute to cleaner energy production.
The role of coal in the future energy transformation should be evaluated comprehensively with sustainable energy goals and energy source diversification strategies. With the transition to renewable energy, coal can take a position as a balancing factor in energy portfolios and provide more effective and diversified solutions to the future needs of the energy sector.
