Coal is the most available energy resource and its consumption increases every year. Coal reserves, unlike oil and gas, are large. But not infinite. Therefore, there is already a question of creating technologies that would allow reducing the consumption of coal while preserving, and if possible, increasing the amount of energy obtained when burning it. For this, it is proposed to use the directed action of an artificially created low-temperature plasma with an ordered movement of "slow" electrons. A dielectric barrier discharge was used as a source of "slow" electrons. The use of an electrono-catalytic method of intensifying the combustion process of solid fuel allows to increase the output of volatile compounds with a heat of combustion higher than the heat of combustion of compounds, weakens bonds in the crystalline structure of the coke residue and increases the degree of fuel combustion. This makes it possible to reduce coal consumption by up to 20 % with electricity consumption of 25–30 W·h per 1 kg of coal and increase the formation of volatile compounds for anthracite to 13.42 %, for gas coal to 24.9 %.
