What to Focus On

  • Conventional energy sources are exhaustible.

  • They are used widely in industry, transport and electricity generation.
  • Coal is an inflammable organic substance found in sedimentary rocks.
  • India is the third largest producer of coal in the world.

  • Petroleum is an inflammable liquid made mainly of hydrocarbons.
  • Oil was first discovered in India at Makum in Assam in 1867.
  • Digboi is the oldest oil field of India.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Anthracite is the most commonly used type of coal in India.

Peat is not a type of coal because it is only the first stage of wood turning into coal.

Coal reserves are spread evenly across all Indian states, so every state contributes nearly the same amount.
