Correct. Thermal activity and pressures within our planet produce “hydrocarbons”.
I would also add that people ignore what Germany was able to do during WW2. They were able to synthetically make at least 50% of their transportation fuel from other sources.
People also ignore the energy contained within coal. The problem with coal has never been the BTU value - it’s there. The problem with coal is that it is “dirty” using current technology to mine, transport, and burn it. Our use of coal today is far cleaner than it was only decades ago and with new scrubbers it remains a very viable source of electricity.
I heat my entire house all winter long (I am just below the Canadian border above 2000’ elevation) with a high efficiency catalytic burning wood stove with mostly pine wood.
In fact, due to the conflict in the Ukraine, they are going to restart coal plants in Western Europe and more Europeans will heat with wood this year than in decades.

I will be grateful if you can provide the source of these studies ( and so I believe will most readers of this thread )
