Peat is a soft, crumbly, dark brown substance that is formed from generations of dead and partially decaying organic matter. ... Peat is the first step in the formation of coal, and slowly becomes lignite after pressure and temperature increase as sediment is piled on top of the partially decaying organic matter. Peat is not coal, but can eventually transform into coal under the right circumstances. Peat is an accumulation of partly decayed vegetation that has gone through a small amount of carbonization. However, peat is still considered part of the coal “family” because it contains energy that its original plants contained.
