[Extra information: Coal is of four types based on carbon content, namely, peat, lignite, bituminous, and anthracite. The purest variety of coal is anthracite. It contains 92-98% of carbon content. Coal is used as a fuel for both domestic and industrial purposes.
Petroleum is a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons that is present in suitable rock strata and can be extracted and refined to produce fuels including petrol, paraffin, and diesel oil.
CNG is compressed natural gas. CNG consists primarily of methane but also contains ethane, propane, and heavier hydrocarbons. Natural gas is very important fossil fuel because it is easy to transport through pipes. It can be used as fuel in homes and factories. It is also used as a starting material for the manufacture of a number of chemicals and fertilizers. ]
