Actually it does have hydrogen...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bituminous_coal >The carbon content of bituminous coal is around 45–86%;[1] the rest is composed of water, air, hydrogen, and sulfur, which have not been driven off from the macerals.

Shitty coals like lignite and bituminous coal do. The real chad coal, anthracite, is up to 98% carbon.[1]
