The main benefit derived from burning anything is the energy that is released (normally as heat). In power generation, the energy is used to boil water which will generate steam in order to turn steam turbines to generate electricity. Coal is one of the most abundant 'fuels' on earth, therefore the fuel is very cheap, and can easily be burned to generate energy.
