uses of petroleum:
diesel,petrol,oil etc. are obtained from petroleum.
These are transportation fuels, i.e, via air, water or land.
Diesel is used to power turbines for the production of electricity in large scale industries.
Oil is used to produce electricity at homes and shops
Oils help lubricate different types of high-end machines used in different industries, hospitals etc.
Kerosene is used for domestic purposes at home
Used by chemical industries to produce plastic, dyes, paints, synthetic rubber, pesticides, perfumes etc. is used for domestic purposes at home

uses of coal:
Coal is generally used in thermal power generation which further helps to produce electricity. Powdered coal is burnt at high temperature which further turns water into steam. This steam is used to turn turbines at high speed in a strong magnetic field. After this, electricity is finally generated.
In the steel industry coal is used indirectly to make steel. What happens here is that coal is baked in furnaces to form coal coke. Once this is formed, manufacturers use coal coke to smelt iron ore into iron and make steel. Meanwhile, ammonia gas is usually recovered from coke ovens and this is used to manufacture nitric acid, ammonia salts and fertilizers.
Many industries use coal to manufacture certain products. Some of the popular industries which make use of coal are the cement industry, paper and aluminium industry, chemical and pharma industry amongst others. Coal provides numerous raw materials like benozle, coal tar, sulphate of ammonia, creosote, etc. to chemical industries. Coal is mostly used as a source of energy is most of the industries
Coal can be turned into synthetic gas which a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. These gases are an intermediate product that can be further converted into different products like urea, methanol, pure hydrogen and more. Coal can also be turned into liquid known as synthetic fuels.
However, these chemicals produced from coal are used primarily to make other products. Besides, most of the products out there in the market have coal or coal by-products as components. Some of them include aspirins, solvents, soap, dyes, plastics and fibres which include nylon and rayon.
Coal is also an essential ingredient in the production of specialist products such as activated carbons, carbon fibre and silicon metals.
In cold regions and in developing or underdeveloped countries coal is still used as fuel for cooking and a source of heat.
coal is also used to make bitumen, coal tar etc. which are in turn used to make many important things.
