Best Answer

There is a technology known as co-firing that does allow gas and coal to be burned at the same time. However, you cannot just put coal into a regular gas furnance and expect positive results.

Burning coal usually produces more soot than burning natural gas or petroleum products because coal?

Basically, it is extremely difficult to get solids to burn. It is even somewhat difficult to get liquids to burn! Gasses burn. Heat turns liquids or solids to gasses and then they burn. In a car engine, fuel injectors turn the gasoline into a fine spray which quickly evaporates into a gas. It then burns. Coal does not burn. A fire heats coal. Then coal gives off gasses. The gasses burn. Then the coal gets hotter. As the coal gets hotter, some of the carbon in the coal turns to gaseous carbon, some of the carbon does not, those flakes of carbon become soot. The carbon gas burns. Some stuff simply is left.
