Difference between Coal and Petroleum
Article shared by 
This article will help you to differentiate between coal and petroleum.
Difference # Coal:
1. Coal is a power resource, fossil fuel and fund resource.
2. Coal used directly in industries and indirectly for production of thermal power.
3. Different by-products of coal are used in various industries.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
4. As a power resource, use of coal is decreasing.
5. Per unit heat and electricity generation from coal is less.
6. As coal hard and bulky, transport cost is high.
7. Cost of coal is less.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
8. Extraction cost of coal is higher.
9. Probability of accident, during extraction of coal is more.
10. Coal emits smoke, ash and gas; pollutes environment.
11. For domestic lighting and room heating, coal is less used now.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
12. Use of coal in railway and ship engines are decreasing.
13. Around coal mines host of industries developed. Industrial regions develop.
14. Nowadays, coal is less important in international trade.
15. Coal seldom influences world politics.
Difference # Petroleum:
1. Petroleum is a power resource, fossil fuel and fund resource.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. Petroleum is also used directly for industries and indirectly for electricity generation.
3. Various by-products of crude oil are used in industries as raw materials.
4. Use of crude oil is increasing.
5. Per unit heat and electricity generation is much higher than coal.
6. Petroleum is less bulky and liquid—thus transportation is easier.
7. Cost of Petroleum is high.
8. Extraction cost of Petroleum is less.
9. Except fire hazard, less dangerous.
10. Petroleum emits less smoke and impurities.
11. For home lighting, use of kerosene is more.
12. Use of petroleum and diesel in rail, road and aviation is increasing.
13. Around petroleum fields mostly petro-chem industries develop.
14. Petroleum is highly important in international trade.
15. Petroleum is a strategic fuel and highly sensitive issue in international politics.

Hey dear,
● Differences between coal & petroleum -
- Coal is found in solid state while petroleum is found in liquid state.
- Coal is formed by mild reduction of land life while petroleum is formed by strong reduction of aquatic life.
- Petroleum stores migrates to other locations based on environmental conditions coal stores can't.
- Coal is cheap & doesn't affect world trade while petroleum fuels are relatively expensive and thus affects world politics.
Hope this helps you..
