Preface

Data presented in the Quarterly Coal Report (QCR) are 

collected and 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.

The Quarterly Coal Report (QCR) presents U.S. coal 

production, exports, imports, receipts, prices, consumption, 

coal quality, and stocks data. In addition, the report offers 

U.S. coke production, consumption, stocks, imports, and 

exports data. This report includes detailed quarterly coal data 

for October – December 2012 and aggregated quarterly 

historical coal data for 2006 through 4th Quarter 2012.

Note, as of first quarter 2009, the QCR includes data for coke 

and breeze commercial sales, steam and metallurgical coal 

imports by Customs District, coke imports and exports prices, 

and average quality for receipts at commercial and 

institutional coal users.

Other changes include the discontinuation of Form EIA-6A 

survey. Form EIA-3 is now utilized to collect data from 

commercial and institutional coal users. EIA has changed the 

title of the data series from “Residential and Commercial” to 

“Commercial and Institutional.” Because the Form EIA-3 is a 

quarterly survey, EIA reports the commercial and institutional 

data with a lag of about 75 days rather than ten months after 

the close of the year, as it did when data were collected on 

the annual Form EIA-6A survey. This report now includes 

summary statistics on coal refining plants.

All data for 2011 and prior years are final. All data for 2012 

are preliminary.

Executive Summary

Summary

Low natural gas prices and pending regulations, among other 

factors, have driven many domestic power plants to reduce 

coal consumption. In an effort to adjust to the down market, 

coal producers idled mines and cut production. Coal exports, 

however, remained strong.

Production

U.S. coal production during fourth quarter 2012 totaled 249.6 

million short tons. This was 3.6% lower than the previous 

quarter and 11.8% lower than the fourth quarter 2011. 

Production during the last quarter of 2012 reached the 

lowest fourth quarter level in more than 15 years. 

Additionally, production levels declined from fourth quarter 

2011 in 19 (out of 25) states. Of the six states that 

experienced an increase in production from fourth quarter 

2011, only Illinois and Texas saw growth of more than a 

million short tons (QCR Table 2).

2, “Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report,” Mine Safety 

and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.

Production in the Western Region, which represented 54.7% 

of total U.S. production, dropped to 136.7 million short tons. 

Declining steam coal prices had a significant impact on 

production levels in Wyoming and Montana. In Wyoming, 

production decreased 4.9% and 14.6% from third quarter 

2012 and fourth quarter 2011, respectively. While fourth 

quarter production in Montana increased slightly from third 

quarter 2012, it decreased 18.1% from fourth quarter 2011. 

Fourth quarter 2012 production in the Appalachian Region 

totaled 67.9 million short tons, declining 1.7% and 17.3% 

from the third quarter 2012 and fourth quarter 2011, 

respectively. While export demand for Appalachian coal 

remained high, the slump in domestic demand, caused 

primarily by low natural gas prices and uncertainty due to 

pending environmental regulations, forced many coal 

producers in the region to reduce production. 

Fourth quarter production in the Interior Region (44.7 million 

short tons) decreased 3.4% from third quarter 2012, but 

increased 4.7% from fourth quarter 2011. Interior Region 

producers, mainly in Illinois, were relatively unaffected by low 

natural gas prices because their low cost structures allowed 

them to better compete with natural gas. Also, the addition 

of scrubbers to numerous utilities in the region caused a shift 

in demand toward the Illinois Basin's low-cost, high-sulfur 

coal and away from Central Appalachia's high-cost, low-sulfur 

coal.

Exports and Imports

The United States continued to import coal primarily from 

Colombia (78.0%), Canada (11.2%), and Indonesia (6.0%). 

While fourth quarter imports declined only slightly (under 

1.0%) from third quarter 2012, imports decreased 11.3% from 

fourth quarter 2011 to 2.4 million short tons. (QCR Table 18). 

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, based on U.S. Bureau of the 

Census. 

Coal imports during fourth quarter 2012 declined from both 

third quarter 2012 and fourth quarter 2011 because of high 

coal stockpiles at electric power plants and existing long-term 

contracts between domestic producers and utilities. Imports 

into the eastern districts of Boston (MA), Norfolk (VA), and 

Portland (ME) together declined 90.7% from fourth quarter 

2011. In fact, coal imports into Norfolk appear to have halted 

during the second half of 2012 (QCR Table 20). 
ix U.S. Energy Information Administration | Quarterly Coal Report, October – December 2012

Fourth quarter coal exports (28.0 million short tons) 

surpassed the five-year (2007-2011) fourth quarter range, 

increasing 1.2% from fourth quarter 2011. However, exports 

decreased 11.3% from third quarter 2012. While coal exports 

to European markets accounted for more than half of all U.S. 

coal exports, China, South Korea, India, and Japan remained 

among the top 10 destinations for U.S. coal exports during 

fourth quarter 2012 (QCR Table 7).

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, based on U.S. Bureau of the 

Census. 

Steam coal exports (12.8 million short tons), with an average 

price of $73.26 per short ton, decreased 12.2% quarter-overquarter, but increased 32.8% from fourth quarter 2011. The 

increase from fourth quarter 2011 can be attributed to excess 

supply of, and reduced demand for, steam coal domestically.

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, based on U.S. Bureau of the 

Census. 

Metallurgical coal exports (15.2 million short tons), with an 

average price of $131.09 per short ton, accounted for 54.3% 

of coal exports in fourth quarter 2012. While fourth quarter 

2012 coal exports to Europe were nearly divided between 

metallurgical (47.4%) and steam coal (52.6%), Asia largely 

imported metallurgical coal (59.4%). Coal exports to Brazil 

and Japan were dominated by metallurgical coal (QCR Table 

11).

Census.

Consumption

Weather and market conditions have traditionally 

determined coal consumption in the United States; however, 

pending environmental regulations also had an impact on 

consumption throughout 2012. Both total U.S. consumption 

(226.1 million short tons) and electric power sector coal 

consumption (209.4 million short tons) for fourth quarter 

2012 dropped for the fifth consecutive time when compared 

with the same quarter in the previous year. Total U.S. 

consumption decreased 11.1% from third quarter 2012 and 

0.5% from fourth quarter 2011. Low natural gas prices and 

pending environmental regulations have compelled power 

plants to reduce coal consumption and, in some cases, use 

natural gas in place of coal (QCR Table 32). 

Consumption at coke plants (5.1 million short tons) remained 

consistent with prior quarter consumption levels. Fourth 

quarter consumption by industrial users (11.1 million short 

tons) and by commercial and institutional users (0.6 million 

short tons) increased quarter-over-quarter, but decreased 

from fourth quarter 2011.

Domestic Prices

The average cost of coal delivered for electricity generation 

for the month of December 2012 was $2.40 per million Btu 

for electric utilities and $2.28 per million Btu for independent 

power producers. 

Delivered prices are the weighted average of contract and 

spot prices with 80 percent of coal delivered under contract 

terms and 20 percent delivered under spot terms. For more 

information on delivered price data, see Table 4.10.A in the 

Electric Power Monthly at:
