What is Coal? Coal is an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation and preservation of plant materials, usually in a swamp environment. Coal is a combustible rock and, along with oil and natural gas, it is one of the three most important fossil fuels.Coal has a wide range of uses; the most important use is for the generation of electricity.
Coal is an important energy source (Lechner et al. 2016) which is unevenly distributed in most parts of the world (Hoek 2006; Sierpińska-Sawicz and Bąk 2016).It is seen as a heterogeneous sedimentary combustible rock of plant origin and is composed of organic and inorganic matter (Shah 2001).Coal is often interbedded with shale, …

Ahmed et al. (1986) suggested that the Hangu Formation 13 represents accumulation of clastic facies of the Paleocene age and is a host rock for coal and organic-rich shale intervals. The coal occurs in the form of lenses and beds in the upper argillaceous facies of the formation (Figs. 2 and 3; Hussain et al. 1990; Shah 2009; Latif et al. 2021).
