Not sure if this will answer your question, but I'll give it a shot. It's less about the fact that is is coal and more about the fact that coal gives off heat. When coal was first being used as a heat source, it was cheaper than wood and there was a lot of it. So really the origin of the energy is in the heat that the coal generates when on fire and less about the coal itself.
coal in the western areas has a lower energy content
Coal began to replace the wood in the 1800s because the wood became scarce in some places. in the 1900s coal replace wood as a chief energy source because of its many used such as the fuel for steam engines which powered the many railroad engines popular during the period, and fuel for the steam turbines used in the production for electricity.
Possibly 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. Wow. In funeral pyres. In the second century (100 AD) coal is mentioned as a heating source in England. See links.
how has coal mining changed over time
Coal energy is energy derived from the burning of coal. Coal is essentially fossilized carbon.
coal have chemical energy
the sun is where coal gets it energy.
Not really. Energy is released when coal is burned. It is not coal itself, but the reaction of oxygen and coal once ignited that results in energy.
Yes,coal is a source of energy................
chemical energy is stored in coal
Electricity from coal is the electric power made from the energy stored in coal. Carbon, made from ancient plant material, gives coal most of its energy. This energy is released when coal is burned.

The energy in coal is chemical energy. The usual way to extract it is to burn the coal converting it to heat energy. This can then be turned into electrical energy Fuels like gasoline and coal are sources of energy which means they store energy

Coal stores chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
Coal is used for energy because it is abundant and substantial amounts of energy can be released by buring it or something made from it, like coal oil or coal gas.
