In heaps in the open air. It is a black shiny carboniferous rock.
It is mined either underground in coal mines, or on the surface in quarries.
Geologically, it is a strata of rock.
It formed in the Carboniferous Geological period from dead/rotting animal and plant life.
From this rotted material , it can be combusted to release heat for energy. Also it can release carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia, methane. In the modern world these gases can be put to industrial use.
The usual place to find coal in heaps is at the steel works, and power station.
At a steel works, coal is naked in coke ovens to make coke, impure carbon , used for iron ore reduction to iron.
At a power station it is combusted to release heat for steam production in order to turn turbines and make electricity.

How is coal energy stored?
the coal is designed to absorb heat at when heat hits it it stores that heat ++++ No. The energy is stored by coal simply being a combustible material, so it contains potential chemical energy.
What is the name of coal dust?
In a coal mine coal dust , mixed with oxygen and methane is known as 'fire damp'. Any flame or electric arc will ignite a flash explosion. Miners often breed canaries (finch type birds), and occasionally take then down the mine. This is because the bird is very susceptible to poisonous gases and fire damp. It is likely to fall off its perch if poisonous gases are present, whereupon the bird is quickly removed to cleaner air , where it recovers. Coal dust , coal particles are best kept under control by the use of a fine spray / mist. of water.
Why is coal constantly sprayed with water?
Coal is sprayed with water to suppress dust and reduce the risk of fires or explosions. Coal dust can be highly flammable and can ignite easily, posing a safety hazard in coal mines, power plants, and transportation. By spraying water on coal, the dust particles are weighed down and kept moist, minimizing the risk of combustion.

How are fossil fuels kept today?
Coal is kept underground in mines. When it is needed, it is dug up and shipped to power stations where it is burnt to produce electricity.Oil is similarly kept underground. After it has been pumped to the surface it is stored in tanks, tankers and pipelines for transportation to where it is needed.Natural gas is kept the same way as oil, in tanks, tankers and pipelines.

Where is coal stored?
Coal is typically stored in several locations, including coal mines, coal preparation plants, and stockpiles at power plants or industrial facilities. It can be kept in large piles or silos to prevent moisture exposure and spontaneous combustion. Additionally, coal may be stored in transportation facilities like rail yards or ports before being shipped to end-users. Proper storage is essential to maintain quality and manage supply.
