Preface

The Annual Coal Report (ACR) provides information 

about U.S. coal production, number of mines, prices, 

productivity, employment, productive capacity, and 

recoverable reserves to a wide audience, including 

Congress, Federal, and State agencies, the coal industry, 

and the general public. This report is published by the 

U.s. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to fulfill 

data collection and dissemination responsibilities as 

specified in the Federal Energy Administration Act of 

1974 (Public Law 93-275), as amended.

This report presents annual data on coal production, 

prices, recoverable reserves, employment, productivity,

Executive Summary

Production

Coal production in 2011 increased slightly from 2010, 

driven by export demand, to roughly 1.1 billion short 

tons. Underground and surface production increased 2.5 

and 0.4 percent, respectively. Also, the total number of 

mines in the United States increased 3.1 percent in 2011. 

Regional production varied. Production in the Western 

Region of the United States (587.6 million short tons) 

declined 0.7 percent from 2010. The region, which 

includes Wyoming, was affected by the decrease in coalfired electricity generation and limited access to foreign 

markets. Western production during 2011 was also 

affected by flooding in Montana. 

Appalachian production (336.0 million short tons) 

increased 0.2 percent from 2010. The increase was 

largely due to increased production and exports of 

bituminous coal from the region.

Coal production in the Interior region (170.3 million short 

tons) increased 9.4 percent from 2010. Texas, Illinois, 

and Indiana increased production 12.0, 13.6, and 7.1 

percent, respectively. While demand for coal from

several new power plants in Texas drove the State’s 

production in 2011, export demand led to production 

increases in the latter two States. 

Productive Capacity

In 2011, productive capacity of coal mines increased by 

2.5 million short tons to 1.3 billion short tons. Capacity 

utilization increased 2.83 percentage points to 79.3 

percent at underground mines, while utilization at 

surface mines (83.3 percent) remained similar to the 

2010 level. 

Employment

In 2011, the average number of employees in U.S. coal 

mines increased 6.3 percent to 91,611 (including refuse 

recovery). In addition, average employment at surface 

and underground mines increased 4.3 and 7.7 percent, 

respectively. Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, 

Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Utah, however, experienced 

decreases in mine employment.

Consumption

In 2011, domestic consumption of metallurgical coal by 

the coking industry rose 1.6 percent to 21.4 million short 

tons. In contrast, consumption of steam coal by the 

electric power, industrial, and commercial and 

institutional sectors decreased 4.4, 6.2, and 9.3 percent, 

respectively. Mild winter weather led to a decline in 

total electricity generation, leaving high stock levels. 

Natural gas prices also declined during 2011, allowing 

facilities that can use both coal and natural gas to 

alternate between fuels and company that have 

portfolios of coal and natural gas plants to utilize their 

gas plants more.

Sales

The average sales price of coal increased 15.2 percent to 

$41.01 per short ton. However, the change in average 

sales price of coal from underground mines was greater 

(16.0 percent) than the change in average sales price of 

coal from surface mines (11.9 percent). Significant 

changes in 2011 include:

• average sales price of coal from Virginia 

($135.14 per short ton) rose 37.3 percent from 

2010 level to the highest price in the Nation; 

• change in average sales price of coal from 

Pennsylvania ($79.47 per short ton) and West 

Virginia ($84.81 per short ton) was 27.1 and 

21.0 percent, respectively; and

• average sales price of metallurgical coal from 

underground mines in Alabama and Southern 

West Virginia increased to more than $100 per 

short ton.

NA = Not Available.

Note: Major coalbeds for this table are the tip 25 producing coalbeds. The category 'Other Coalbeds' includes all coalbeds from which less than 8.0 million short tons were produced during the year. In some

regions, coalbeds are characteristically discontinuous or uncorrelatable from one location to another, and production is identified by the geological formations, coal groups, or coal zones of the native rock

where the coalbeds occur. These types of coalbeds are found primarily in the Rocky Mountain States and even in the Gulf Coast lignite belt. Coalbeds of these types are also included in 'Other Coalbeds,' even

though production may exceed 8.0 million short tons. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. The coalbed name given is the name most commonly used in the State having the

greatest production from that coalbed. The States having greatest production for each coalbed are Alabama (coalbed 0280); Colorado (1750); Illinois (0484); Indiana (0483); Eastern Kentucky (0100, 0135, 0142,

0151, and 0168); Western Kentucky (0489); Montana (1699 and 1808); New Mexico (1488); North Dakota (1569); Pennsylvania (0036 and 0071); West Virginia (0084, 00103, 0111, 0121, 0157, and 0176); and

Wyoming (1697, 1699, and 1787). In some other States where these are major producing beds, the following alternative coalbed names are also used: 0084, No.5 (Ohio); 0111, Peach Orchard (Eastern Kentucky);

0121, Quakertown (Pennsylvania); 0157, Windrock (Tennessee); Phillips (Virginia); Chilton (West Virginia); 0142, Lower Splint (Virginia); 0151, Jellico (Tennessee); Taggert (Virginia); Cedar Grove (West Virginia);

0157, Elkhorn No. 1 (East Kentucky); Rich Mountain (Tennessee); 0168, Imboden (Virginia); No. 2 Gas (West Virginia); 0176, Middle Eagle (West Virginia); 0484, No. 11 (Western Kentucky); 0489, No. 5 (Illinois and

Indiana).

Notes: Recoverable coal reserves at producing mines represent the quantity of coal that can be recovered (i.e. mined) from existing coal reserves at reporting mines. EIA's estimated recoverable reserves include

the coal in the demonstrated reserve base considered recoverable after excluding coal estimated to be unavailable due to land use restrictions or currently economically unattractive for mining, and after

applying assumed mining recovery rates; see Glossary for criteria. The effective date for the demonstrated reserve base, as customarily worded, is 'Remaining as of January 1, 2012.' These data are

contemporaneous with the Recoverable Reserves at Producing Mines, customarily presented as of the end of the reporting year's mining, that is in this case, December 31, 2011. The demonstrated reserve base

includes publicly available data on coal mapped to measured and indicated degrees of accuracy and found at depths and in coalbed thicknesses considered technologically minable at the time of determinations;

see Glossary for criteria. All reserve expressions exclude silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations. Reserves at Producing Mines exclude mines producing less than 25,000 short tons, which are

not required to provide reserves data.

Note: For each State, stand alone preparation plant hours are distributed across mining methods by the proportion of underground hours for all stand alone mines. Productivity is calculated by dividing total coal

production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair shop, or yard work at mining operations, including office

workers. Excludes mines producing less than 25,000 short tons of coal and preparation plants with less than 5,000 employee hours during the year, which are not required to provide data.
