By burning it
True, in the case of coal it is potential chemical energy
When it is burned in air (this is a chemical reaction with oxygen) energy is released as heat.
Burning coal has chemical potential energy, because the energy is stored up in the bonds between the carbon molecules, and when the coal is burned, the stored energy is released and transformed into heat, light, and even sometimes sound energy.
Coal stores chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
Not really. Energy is released when coal is burned. It is not coal itself, but the reaction of oxygen and coal once ignited that results in energy.
Coal has potential chemical energy which is released as heat when it is burned.

By burning it
the energy that is released when coal was at one time sunlight energy shining on plants.
when coal is burned.Electricity from coal is the electric power made from the energy stored in coal. Carbon, made from ancient plant material, gives coal most of its energy. This energy is released when coal is burned.
Coal is used for energy because it is abundant and substantial amounts of energy can be released by buring it or something made from it, like coal oil or coal gas.
