Summary/Abstract: Major presence of different types of coal in the production of electric and thermal energy indicates the need to use them. On the other hand they are the main factor in the pollution of the environment. Thus we create an absurd situation in which the process and the use of coal with the purpose to enable better life and higher standards of men lead to the degradation of basic living conditions. This paper will present the impact of coal processing technology in thermal plants on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this paper is to motivate the use of economically and technologically justified technologies in coal exploatation. In this way energy efficiency is increased, which leads to the reduction of energy use and financial savings, and eventually to the increase in the quality of the environment.
