Yes and peat even less.
Yuk on copying Table 1
Coal: C H O
Peat 38 45 16
Lignite 47 41 12
Bituminous 56 39 5
Anthracite 78 20 1
I've discarded the +/- xx
Above in atomic %. There is added for Bit. 1 or 2 atoms of N (proteins) and 0.3 to 3 of S
The point of the paper is the H-Cs recovered with destructive dislilation is created then not naturally occurring. And that coal is mainly aromatic in structure. Thermal treatment's end product is mostly graphite.
bc fascinated.
p.s. That's a very old paper (1934)

This paper seems to concern itself with bituminous coal.
Lignite coal would show even lower carbon content, I expect?

which gives, for anthracite (by weight)
78 \pm 12% C and 20 \pm 12% H. Since the atomic weight of carbon
is 12 and that of H is 1 (the H is combined in compounds), there is about
one hydrogen atom available for each 7, or so, carbon atoms.
Burning of coal, therefore, is not a simple process of combining
carbon with oxygen.
Regards,
Carbon is not, except in rare instances, a fuel. The fuels we use areHuh? Anthracite coal, the formerly dominant fuel of steam locomotives,
hydrocarbons....

is reckoned to offer between 92% to 98% carbon....
