Vegetable matter and algae
Coal is the second most popular fossil fuel. Before, it used to be the main industrial energy source. 35 percent of all commercial energy source is produced from coal. Now that coal is more expensive to remove from the ground than petroleum. Petroleum is the most popular energy source used today.
Coal is formed from the remains of ancient plants that accumulated in swampy environments millions of years ago. Over time, the plant material was buried and subjected to heat and pressure, eventually transforming into coal.
Petroleum oil is the major energy source for these processes as it is commonly used for fueling vehicles, generating electricity, and producing various products like plastics and chemicals. Coal and coke are also used for energy generation and in the steel industry, while electricity is a common energy source for powering machinery and equipment.
Coal can be converted to oil . The South African's during the years of Apartheid, when they suffered a trade embargo on oil, developed the industrial process of converting coal to oil, viz. SASOL. South Africa has millions of tons of coal that can be mined.
Coal is to oil as mine is to minerals. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels extracted from the earth, just as minerals are extracted from mines.
The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy on earth.
the Original sourced for both coal and wind have been known as the sun
Coal, oil.....

THE SUN!!!
The original source of energy for coal is the sun. Coal is formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and trees that lived and absorbed sunlight. For wind energy, the original source is also the sun, as the sun's heat causes air to move, creating wind that can be harnessed for power generation.
No. coal is a source of energy collected from the earth. It is a form of oil that is not finished yet.

No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
