The burning of coal implies the emission of many harmful gases into our atmosphere. However, instead of burning coal, coal can be converted into liquid fuels, which emit lower amounts of harmful gases into the air. Thus, the emission of harmful gases and particles could be lowered to a certain extent by converting coal into liquids.
