Coal

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years. Vast deposits of coal originate in former wetlands—called coal forests—that covered much of the Earth's tropical land areas during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian times. However, many significant coal deposits are younger than this and originate from the Mesozoic and …

Natural gas is defined as a transition fuel, such as coal to gas currently, and thus Brunei will be able to emits carbon dioxide (CO2) amounting to half that of coal, so after 2040, gas will be phased out of the energy hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, such as coal and gas, with carbon capture and storage to reduce 2022 reservoir in Shandong International MS 150,000 Coal mining subsidence area, Huainan China Anhui Province New Energy Co.
