The gas that is released when burning coal, oil, or gas is called carbon monoxide or sulfur. Sulfur is released with the burning of coal and carbon monoxide is what the exhaust of cars is made up of because of the burning of petroleum.

Burning coal usually produces more soot than burning natural gas or petroleum products because coal?

Basically, it is extremely difficult to get solids to burn. It is even somewhat difficult to get liquids to burn! Gasses burn. Heat turns liquids or solids to gasses and then they burn. In a car engine, fuel injectors turn the gasoline into a fine spray which quickly evaporates into a gas. It then burns. Coal does not burn. A fire heats coal. Then coal gives off gasses. The gasses burn. Then the coal gets hotter. As the coal gets hotter, some of the carbon in the coal turns to gaseous carbon, some of the carbon does not, those flakes of carbon become soot. The carbon gas burns. Some stuff simply is left.
