To accurately determine which solid fuel has the highest heating value, we would need a specific list of solid fuels to compare. However, in general terms, anthracite coal is known to have one of the highest heating values among common solid fuels. Anthracite is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a high carbon content and few impurities, leading to a high energy density and a high heating value. In comparison, other solid fuels like bituminous coal, lignite, wood, or biomass tend to have lower heating values due to higher moisture content and a greater proportion of non-carbon elements.
