Don't know if anyone is interested, I came across this on a coal mining forum. Years ago diesels engines were tested and ran on pulverised coal. A couple of links below. Maybe when oil runs out it will be common practice to run cars on coal?

Not going to do your DPF much good. |

Pulverised coal is said to burn cleaner than diesel, might not need a DPF? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

I used to live near Didcot power station - that ran on pulverised coal. I wouldn't want to be downwind of what came out of the smoke stack there.

Coal burns much cleaner than any oil, but has a much higher ash content. So oxides of sulphur and nitrogen would be much lower, but your exhaust wouldn't look too clean.
