Coal regions of the United States Coal production by basin 2014–2018 Coal production trends in the top 5 US coal states, 1985–2015, data from US Energy Information Administration. The three regions producing the largest amount of coal are Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana, the Appalachian Basin and the Illinois Basin. In the United ...
US Annual coal production by coal rank. Trends in surface versus underground mining of coal in the US Bowman Company coal mine, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, 1904.. The history of coal mining in the United States starts with the first commercial use in 1701, within the Manakin-Sabot area of Richmond, Virginia. [1]

Energy production and consumption play a significant role in the global economy. It is needed in industry and global transportation. The total energy supply chain, from production to final consumption, involves many activities that cause a loss of useful energy. [3] As of 2022, energy consumption is still about 80% from fossil fuels. [4]
Coal electrical generation (black line), compared to other sources, 1949–2016 Coal power generation in 2011 by state. Coal generated about 19.5% of the electricity at utility-scale facilities in the United States in 2022, down from 38.6% in 2014 [2] and 51% in 2001. [3]
Graph of US iron and steel production, 1900–2014, data from USGS The technological development of the US iron and steel industry has closely mirrored that of other countries. In the 1800s, the US switched from charcoal to coal in ore smelting, adopted the Bessemer process , and saw the rise of very large integrated steel mills.
Plant Bowen, the third-largest coal-fired power station in the United States. This is a list of the 211 operational coal-fired power stations in the United States.. Coal generated 16% of electricity in the United States in 2023, [1] an amount less than that from renewable energy or nuclear power, [2] [3] and about half of that generated by natural gas plants.
US coal production had major tonnage peaks in 1918, 1947, and 2008. United States annual mined coal tonnage (black) and BTU content (red), 1980–2012, from US EIA. Although Hubbert's analysis in 1956 projected total extraction to peak in about 2150, [22] records show that extraction reached an energy peak in 1998 and a tonnage peak in 2008. [23]
