Coal was a type of rock, primarily composed of carbon, which could be used as a fossil fuel.
In 2267, the USS Enterprise detected no signs of coal being used as fuel on Neolithia, which was highly unusual as the planet was supposedly a human colony. (TOS novel: Mission to Horatius)
Coal was obtained through mining. (DS9 episode: "Bar Association")
