Bituminous coal (also called black coal) is a soft, black organic sedimentary rock that contains 85% carbon. It’s a lower grade than anthracite coal, which contains 93% carbon. Bituminous coal can either be dull or shiny, whereas anthracite is hard and shiny. Lignite, a lower grade than bituminous, is a crumbly, black type of coal that only contains 72% carbon.
