It is a dead fuel as it is formed from the remains of the dead vegetation of the Carboniferous period(605 million years ago).The dead vegetationgot buried under many layers of sedimentary rocks, thus increasing the preasure and temperature.As force was applied on the dead vegetation from below bythe Earth's core and manteland from the top by the crust, water was squeezed from these dead vegetation resulting in the form of coal. The process of transforming of dead vegetation by various natural, chemical as well as physical reactions into the black substance coal is known as Carbonisation.
