Think of coal like wood. In a wood stove or furnace, wood is burned to produce heat. Coal contains more energy and is cheaper that wood, however wood is renewable. The large c â¦ oal power plants that run use coal to produce heat by burning it, heating water.When water heats up to steam, it has more pressure.hink of coal like wood.
