Coal cannot be used to produce gasohol. Gasohol has two components, gasoline and alcohol. The gasoline is derived from petroleum (also known as oil) and the alcohol is derived from fermented vegetable matter of some kind (often corn). Coal cannot be processed into either gasoline or alcohol.
Because gasohol is slightly cleaner than other fuels

Gasohol is a blend of usually around 90% gasoline and 10% anhydrous ethanol. Blends can vary greatly, but gasoline should always be the majority. The ethanol used is derived from fermenting crops.
Petroleum is a crude oil that is used to produce gasoline.
some crops are used for creating a fuel. Sugarcane is used to produce gasohol or greener cars.
It is created by mixing gasoline and ethanol together, and then chilling it to about -10° F without forming ice. This creates both a gasohol blend containing about 10% ethanol, and an aqueous stream comprised of some ethanol and traces of gasoline which can be recycled and used to produce more gasohol.
