Something you can dig up and burn (or pipe up and burn).
Coal, petroleum, natural gas, coal gas, lignite (soft brown coal, only partially compressed into black coal) and peat. All come from plant or animal remains that have been covered by water and/or sediment, and therefore not come into contact with oxygen, before they've had a chance to rot away.

I have never heard of a fuel mineral. However, a mineral must be a solid with an orderly internal atomic structure, so that rules out petroleum and natural gas, which are liquids and gases. Minerals are (by definition) inorganic and so that would rule out coal. Maybe it is a technical term and not a scientific term.
