Note there’s a good question
Comment on I have a question on how and when coal actually formed.

I have another, related, question. What would be a sustainable amount of coal usage globally per year, matching the speed of the formation process? Is it something like a few grams per year or even less, maybe on the order of miligrams or micrograms? Or maybe a lot more, I have no idea

There is no formation process. Coal exists because there were NO microbes to rot organic materials down. Coal stopped forming when microbes arrived on the scene.

Are there any other fossile files that still form? Like in a swamp somewhere where the microbes can’t keep up? Or are fossile fule formation totaly a thing of the past?
