Hydrocarbons, that is compounds of carbon and hydrogen
Petrochemicals are primarily derived from petroleum, which is a type of fossil fuel. While some petrochemicals can be derived from coal through coal gasification and coal-to-chemical processes, the majority come from crude oil.
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.
No, coal is not typically used to make plastic. Plastic is typically made from petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas. However, some plastic products may contain small amounts of coal-derived chemicals as additives.
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.

Use water and coal. :D
Mining and extraction industries producing coal, oil, gas, and chemicals. Russia produces an estimated 9.5 million barrels of oil per day.
coal and oil come from many different places. Like coal from mines. oil from the ground.
ships, iron, chemicals, lumber, oil, textiles, glass, coal, and steel. Although it is still a major manufacturing center, Pennsylvania's industrial leadershiphas diminished steadily during this century
Coal AND Oil
1. Oil 2. Coal 3. Natural Gas...
Thar Desert in Pakistan has the 7th largest coal reserves in the world, Coal is a valuable mineral specially amid the steeply rising energy costs in the world, however the modern scientific breakthroughs has evolved new technologies to process coal in a more efficient, clean & environment friendly way. The largely untapped Thar Coal reserves has for years been red taped in Pakistan by the powerful Oil lobbies who bribe their way in Politics & bureaucracy to keep the valuable coal reserves at bay. South African Oil & chemicals giant company Sasol has the technology to extract Oil & chemicals from Coal but its feasibility is only viable if the intl oil prices remain above US$40/barrel. In the last decade the oil prices have remained well above this threshold therefore justifying prompt action / investment in Thar Coal reserves which can turn around Pakistans & even the regions dire energy & economic crisis.
coal is mainly carbon......so on heating it u'll get carbon di-oxide
The three main fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas
