What are the advantage and disadvantage of coal relative to oil?

Coal has only one advantage relative to oil, which is that it is abundant and relatively inexpensive. Disadvantages include, it is more polluting (due to impurities in the coal) and it is harder to handle; oil can be pumped, whereas coal has to be shoveled. Coal mining is often more difficult and dangerous than pumping oil out of the ground. Coal dust creates the dangers of explosion, and black lung disease.


What natural gases come from Cole and oil?

Natural gases that come from coal and oil primarily include methane, ethane, propane, and butane. These gases are formed during the decomposition of organic materials under heat and pressure over millions of years. In coal, methane is often found adsorbed onto the coal surface, while oil reservoirs can contain a mix of gaseous hydrocarbons, including associated gas that is released during oil extraction. Collectively, these gases are significant energy sources and are used for heating, electricity generation, and as industrial feedstocks.
