anthracite

solid coal

Anthracite, IPCC 2006 global default (rank-based). DESNZ has no rank-based term. No density in the source → volume conversions not available. HHV/GCV not available from IPCC Table 1.2 (NCV only) → shows 'not available'.

  • No density available (coal is sold by mass) → volume conversions not available. HHV/GCV not available from the IPCC source used.

HHV/GCV vs LHV/NCV Higher heating value counts the heat of condensing water vapour; lower heating value does not. The gap can be 5–20%.Why fuel conversions are approximate Density, calorific value and emission factors are material properties that vary — so fuel results are sourced estimates, not constants.
