The period of coal formation began during the Carboniferous Period 360 million to 290 million years ago. This predates the existence of humans and even mammals by several hundred million years.

He was born and died in the period called the Renaissance. He could not help it.
From prehistoric plants that died and turned to coal. Sometimes in underground coal mines we find a tree stump that is coal, but can still be recognized as a tree stump.

Actually, any kind of plant/animal could have died to form coal. But not just any type of coal. Bituminous coal, to be exact. This happens when dead plant/animal's remains (though mostly plant, a small percentage of bituminous coal is from animal remains) are buried under a body of water (usually a swamp) and decay there for a while, forming a thick layer. Then it needs to be buried by a lot of 'sediments', usually mud/sand to compress the plant/animal remains into coal.
It powered the plants until they died millions of years ago, to eventually become coal.

Coal energy is present in coal. There are two types of coal: bituminous, or 'soft' coal, and anthracite coal, or hard coal. Coal is a hard rocky substance that is the left-over carbon from huge amounts of plants from ages past which died, and have been covered over by sometimes thousands of feet of rock and dirt.
