Crude oil is processed at a refinery to make gasoline for automotive and other uses. Coal is just burned in furnaces, usually to boil water to drive a stem turbine to generate electricity.How do we convert coal/oil into products we use for energy?

As there are abundant sources of coal on most of the continents, there is a push to use coal for energy.
Coal is mainly burned, however, the byproducts of combustion require scrubbing to make the waste gas as clean as possible before releasing them into the atmosphere.
Coal can also be processed and gassified for burning and energy production.
Oil is refined and burned to provide energy for autos, trucks, power plants etc....
