No, not all steam engines use coal as fuel. While many traditional steam engines, especially those from the 19th and early 20th centuries, were coal-fired, steam engines can also use other fuels such as wood, oil, or even biomass. The choice of fuel often depends on the design of the engine and the availability of resources. Modern steam engines, such as those used in some power plants, may utilize different fuels or technologies altogether.

Military airplanes with big, powerful jet engines and lots of things that go boom!
Who would use a steam engine?
Someone who doesn't want to burn gasoline. A steam engine has the ability to use anything that will burn. Had the technology been applied to steam engines like it was to gasoline engines, we possibly would have some viable steam engine transportation today. Steam engines were less efficient than gasoline or diesel engines, that is why they are not used much today.
What engines did the titanic use?
Two triple expansion steam engines and an exhaust turbine
