Coal is formed from dead plant matter that was buried and subjected to high pressure and heat over millions of years. This process transformed the plant material into coal through a process known as coalification.
It typically takes millions of years for coal to form. Coal is created from the remains of plants and trees that were buried under layers of sediment and subjected to heat and pressure over long periods of time.
100 million years (APEX) ;)
Coal should be around 360 and 286 million years old because most of the coal in the world was formed in the Carboniferous Period, which occured 360 and 280 million years ago.
Coal is formed from buried vegetation over 300 million years ago. The material formed is called peat. the earth structure changes and deposits of sand and other material are dropped on the peat, putting a lot of pressure and temperature on the material squeezing out water from the material which then gives yield to coal.

Coal has been forming in the Earth for millions of years, with some coal deposits dating back to over 300 million years. The process of coal formation involves the accumulation of plant material in swampy environments, which over time gets buried and compressed to form coal deposits.
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.

Coal is not renewable within our life times. Much of the coal we burn today formed during the Permian, some 300 million years ago.
Most of it is from the trees of the great forests of 200 million years ago.
