Coal, mainly in power stations, covers about one quarter of our energy needs, but its use has declined since we have used more oil. Coal is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel. New, there is probably about five times as much coal as oil. Oil Petroleum (derived from oil) provides around 40% of the world’s energy needs, mainly for cars. The US consumes around a quarter of all oil and generates a similar proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.
