Coal is a rich source of energy formed from plants that grew in swamps tens to hundreds of millions of years ago. The plants were buried deeply under younger and younger layers of dirt and rock, heated, and compressed into a carbon-rich rock. [1] Burning coal releases more carbon dioxide per unit of energy produced than any other fossil fuel. [2]
