Mining Palworld Coal isn't easy as you need special equipment to even extract it, and the best place to find it is dangerously hot. With that in mind, you need to be a reasonably decent level in Palworld before you even consider going on a coal expedition. Hopefully, though, by the time you need it, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Get your pickaxe and hot weather gear ready, and follow my instructions for farming coal in Palworld.
How to farm Palworld coal
The quickest way to farm some coal in Palworld and get as much as you need is to head to the Twilight Dunes, circled on the map above. However, to do that you'll need to be able to deal with Palworld hot weather, as the temperature there is damagingly high without Tropical Armor. So, if you can't craft that yet, you're better off waiting.
You'll also meet plenty of level 15-20 enemies when you get there, not to mention the journey to reach the location will scale up to that as you travel. So if you're not roughly of an equivalent level, then you might struggle. You can run around and avoid all the fights if needs be, but there are no nearby spawn points for Palworld fast travel so, if you die, you'll have to retrace the last parts of the journey to get there.
However, assuming you can stay alive or stay out of trouble you'll find plenty of large, black rocks that will give you plenty of coal as you mine them. Ideally you'll want a metal pickaxe, as it will last longer than a stone one, but either will do in a pinch. Grab all the coal you need and then head back to your base to use it in refined ingots and carbon fiber.
