Before natural gas was readily available...gas for homes and lighting was produced from turning coal into coke. You can also make methanol from coal, which can be used in a conventional internal-combustion engine, or to power a fuel-cell vehicle

Methanol can also be used, along with lye, to convert vegetable oil into biodiesel.
