Coal and oil are both fossil fuels.
Approximately 1,800 pounds of coal yield the same amount of energy as one barrel of oil. This is because coal has a lower energy density compared to oil, requiring a larger quantity of coal to produce the same amount of energy.
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.

I believe you mean coal bed gas or coal bed methane which is a fossil fuel.
Coal is non-renewable. Once coal stocks are depleted - there will be no more ! The same goes for oil and gas !

Use water and coal. :D
coal and oil come from many different places. Like coal from mines. oil from the ground.
Natural gas and oil are produced by the death of microscopic animals and coal is produced by the death of macroscopic plants.
Coal AND Oil
1. Oil 2. Coal 3. Natural Gas...
No, but it once was. Coal is produced by pressure in the earth and it once was was plants and animals millions of years ago. Oil is produced the same way.
The three main fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas
