Coal can be converted to oil .
The South African's during the years of Apartheid, when they suffered a trade embargo on oil, developed the industrial process of converting coal to oil, viz. SASOL.
South Africa has millions of tons of coal that can be mined.
Coal is to oil as mine is to minerals. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels extracted from the earth, just as minerals are extracted from mines.
Coal tends to be cheaper than oil because coal is more abundant and easier to extract from the earth. Additionally, coal production costs are generally lower than oil production costs. Supply and demand also play a role in determining the price difference between coal and oil.
Fossil fuels.
Coal is formed from the remains of plants that have been compacted and heated over millions of years. Oil is formed in a similar way but from the remains of marine organisms such as plankton. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels, created through the process of decomposition and pressure under the Earth's surface.
Oil generally burns hotter than coal. This is because the carbon content in oil is higher than that in coal, resulting in a more efficient combustion process and higher heat output.
Use water and coal. :D
coal and oil come from many different places. Like coal from mines. oil from the ground.
Coal AND Oil

The three main fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas

Transformation of coal in a substitue of oil.
Coal is to oil as mine is to minerals. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels extracted from the earth, just as minerals are extracted from mines.
Coal is solid and oil is a liquid.
Coal oil, and natural gases are examples of fossil fuels
coal is found in the oil sands
