InSeA Coal & Ilmenite

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock with a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests.

Power generation is the primary use for coal worldwide. Thermal coal is burnt to create steam that drives turbines and generators for the production of electricity. Metallurgical (coking) coal is a key ingredient in steelmaking. Coal converted to coke is used to produce around 70% of the world’s steel.

The chemical formula of coal is reported as: C135H96O9NS

Ilmenite and rutile, being titanium oxide minerals, are used to produce high-performance metal parts such as artificial human body parts, aircraft engine parts, sporting equipment, synthetic rutile, pigments, etc.

The chemical formula of Ilmenite is reported as: FeTiO3.

InSeA Supplies Coal & Ilmenite around the world, to balance its availability.
