Plutonian coal
Plutonian coal is a gooey carbon based substance found on Pluto that can be burned for fuel. It's one of the few non-renewable energy sources in still in use.
Unlike the coal from Earth, the coal from Pluto is softer and appears to be somewhere between coal and oil. It's also formed by a different process than that of the organic formed Earth fossil fuels. Instead, Plutonian coal is formed by organic matter from comets.
