You could argue that the sun has provided all the energy for the organic materials that coal consists of. Or even the compression and heat that coal suffered from during its formation ( As a spring that becomes compressed gaining potential energy )

The Sun.
They both burn easily with lots of heat.
The original source of biomass energy is organic matter derived from plants and animals that have absorbed sunlight through photosynthesis. Fossil fuel energy originates from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago and have undergone geological processes like heat and pressure to become coal, oil, and natural gas.
Since this world's fossil fuel supply is getting lower, people need to find alternative forms of energy to continue producing electricity. Since biomass is an alternative energy source, its importance is growing in place of fossil fuels.
Biomass has many benefits, the primary one being that it cannot be depleted like fossil fuels. ... With an abundance of plants on Earth, biomass could be a primary source of renewable energy that's used as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels
Biomass is considered an alternative energy source, as it comes from recently living organisms. It is a renewable resource that can be used to produce power, heat, and fuel. Unlike fossil fuels, biomass does not involve the combustion of ancient organic matter and does not contribute to the release of carbon dioxide stored underground.
Any energy source that is obtained from animal or plant matter, excluding fossilised material, is considered biomass energy. So, anything that's not that, including oil, coal, gas, and nuclear energy.
The sun is considered the original source of most energy resources because it provides the primary energy input for processes like photosynthesis, which creates biomass, and drives wind and ocean currents that can be harnessed for energy. Fossil fuels also derive their energy from the sun, as they are formed from organic matter that originally received energy from sunlight.
because it is
organic matter in it
Organic matter such as plants, animals, and their byproducts can be a source of energy through processes like combustion (burning for heat or power generation) or decomposition (producing biogas or biofuels). This organic material contains stored energy from the sun, which can be released through various conversion methods to provide heat, electricity, or transportation fuels.
the sources of biomass energy are garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels.
