So it did not changed to carbon as Fifi stated. It got captured by coal. Amazing, tell me how can coal managed to capture energy?

Energy doesn't literally change into carbon. It's absorbed by hydrocarbons, and coal IS one of them. Crude oil and natural gas are another two examples of hydrocarbons.

Not sure about the actual absorption process, my Googling doesn't work well. AFAIK, it's similar to how solar panels or planets absorb sunlight, but I don't know any further than that.

Thanks Smith, I can accept that. Now I am waiting to learn how the absorption process works.

Ah yes, cherroy explained it right. Darn my faulty memory! *slaps head*
