Because, it is made of rock burned rock
"Hydrocarbon" means something that contains only carbon and hydrogen. Coal is mainly carbon with small amounts of other materials. There are certainly hydrocarbon compounds present in coal, but for the most part it's probably more correct to think of it as an impure form of carbon.
It is hydrocarbons that make up most of coal and petroleum.
when coal is burned.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.
Most coal burned in power stations contains small amounts of the metal mercury. This metal is released and vaporized as the coal burns. Some coal, particularly lower-quality bituminous coal, contains nitrogen compounds. The nitrogen in this coal (and sometimes nitrogen from the air) combine with oxygen to produce various nitrogen oxides, some of which catalyze the formation of ozone in the lower atmosphere. Most modern coal-fired power stations have very efficient combustion, so they produce very little carbon monoxide, but some older plants produce significant (but still small) quantities. Carbon dioxide isn't universally considered a pollutant, but it is the main combustion product of coal. Some coal contains sulfur or sulfur compounds. These can be released by burning to produce sulfur dioxide, which reacts with water in the atmosphere to produce sulfurous and sulfuric acids, which are significant components of acid rain.

Anthracite is the highest carbon coal, and therefore the most valuable.

Carbonite was used as an explosive in coal mines because it was the safest material to use. This is due to the fact that most of the carbon is bound into carbon monoxide.
