Once coal has been extracted, it is necessary to transport it to the plants where it will be used. For short distances, trucks will be used, while for longer distances trains, barges and ships will be employed. Recently coal pipes have been tested: the mineral is pumped after being transformed into dust and mixed with water. Preventive measures are taken at any stage during transport and storage, in order to reduce any environmental impact.
