The mineral is one of the most important energy resources. Indirect energy derived from Sun as Biomass. Organic byproducts were converted to fossil fuels through photosynthesis on Earth. Coal is a sedimentary rock that contains the accumulation of organic matter from plants. Coal is upgraded using gravity and flotation techniques. In many countries, SO2 is being removed from flue gases by different methods. Oil shale is shale that contains organic matter of incomplete conversion to oil. Oil shale can be burned directly to generate electricity. It can be upgraded to increase its organic content. It can be converted to oil or gas through pyrolysis. Nuclear fuel is a material that contains fissionable elements such as Uranium, Plutonium, and Thorium. Uranium is widely distributed in mineral ores. Natural uranium contains 0.7% U235 (fissile isotope) and 99.3% U238. The U235 must be increased up to 8% to be a fuel for energy reactor while the weapon-grade must contain at least 90% U235.
