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 ...
The reserve list specifies different types of coal and includes countries with at least 0.1% share of the estimated world's proven reserves of coal. All data are taken from the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) via BP; all numbers are in million tonnes. [1]
The states with the largest recoverable coal reserves are, in descending order, Wyoming, West Virginia, Illinois, and Montana. [19] The largest single mine in the United States is the North Antelope Rochelle Mine near Gillette, Wyoming; it produces more coal annually than many states. In 2009, it alone produced over 100 million tons of coal ...
The following table lists the coal mines in the United States that produced at least 4,000,000 short tons of coal. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), there were 853 coal mines in the U.S. in 2015, producing a total of 896,941,000 short tons of coal. [1]
The Biden administration on Thursday proposed an end to new coal leasing from federal reserves in the most productive coal mining region in the U.S. as officials seek to limit climate-changing ...
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]
The 2017 production of coalbed methane in the United States was 0.98 trillion cubic feet (TCF), 3.6 percent of all US dry gas production that year. The 2017 production was down from the peak of 1.97 TCF in 2008. [1] Most coalbed methane production came from the Rocky Mountain states of Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
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]
