The answer is trees. As in ancient trees.

Colten was created through the decomposition of ancient <u>trees.</u>

Formation of coal begins in areas where groundwater is near or slightly above the topsoil. The plants, pieces of trees and dirt produce organic matter  quickly forming layers of organic matter that accumulates and gets buried. These layers of organic material form coal. The energy in coal comes from the Sun, and ends up being energy from sunlight trapped by dead plants.
