Preface

The Annual Coal Report (ACR) provides information about U.S. coal production, number of mines, productive 

capacity, recoverable reserves, employment, productivity, consumption, stocks, and prices to a wide audience, 

including Congress, federal and state agencies, the coal industry, and the general public. We publish this report 

to fulfill data collection and dissemination responsibilities under the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 

(Public Law 93-275), as amended.

Coal production, number of mines, employment, and productivity are based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s 

Mine Safety and Health Administration’s Form 7000-2, Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report. 

Productive capacity, recoverable reserves, and prices are based on our Form EIA-7A, Annual Survey of Coal 

Production and Preparation. Consumption and stocks are based on our survey forms.

This report is our 46th annual report on the coal industry, and it continues the series formerly included in the 

Minerals Yearbook, which the U.S. Bureau of Mines previously published. All data for 2021 and previous years 

are final. 

The Office of Energy Production, Conversion, & Delivery acknowledges the cooperation of the respondents in 

supplying the information published in the Annual Coal Report, and we appreciate the valuable assistance of 

state coal mining agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration.

In 2021, U.S. coal production increased 7.8% to 577.4 million short tons (MMst) from the 2020 level, while the 

number of producing mines decreased to 512 mines from 552 mines in 2020. Coal production in basins east of 

the Mississippi river increased 10.6%, and production increased 6.0% in basins west of the Mississippi river.

The Appalachian region’s coal production in 2021 was 155.1 MMst, an increase of 12.0% from 2020. West 

Virginia’s production increased 16.8% to 78.5 MMst, Pennsylvania’s production increased 17.0% to 42.5 MMst, 

and Eastern Kentucky’s production increased 21.6% to 10.1 MMst. 

Coal production in the Interior region was 93.2 MMst, an increase of 2.9% from the 2020 level. Production in 

Illinois increased 16.0% to 36.6 MMst, production in Western Kentucky increased 2.4% to 16.3 MMst, and 

production in Indiana decreased 2.4% to 19.5 MMst. Production in the rest of the Interior region decreased 

10.0% to 20.8 MMst, led by a production decrease in Texas of 12.4% to 17.3 MMst.

Coal production in the Western region in 2021 increased 7.4% to 328.5 MMst. Production in Wyoming, the 

largest coal-producing state in the region, increased by 9.3% to 238.8 MMst. Other large producing states in the 

basin include Montana, where production increased by 8.2% to 28.6 MMst; Colorado, where production 

increased by 18.1% to 11.9 MMst; and Utah, where production decreased by 5.5% to 12.4 MMst.

Disposition of coal during 2021 totaled 582.3 MMst, of which 520.5 MMst was marketed as thermal coal and 

61.8 MMst was marketed as metallurgical coal. Of the metallurgical coal dispositions, 45.0 MMst was exported, 

and 16.9 MMst was sold to domestic customers.

Productive capacity

Productive capacity is the maximum amount of coal that can be produced annually as reported by mining 

companies. In 2021, the collective productive capacity of U.S. coal mines decreased 6.6% to 871 MMst. Major 

producing states that reported a decrease in productive capacity include Kentucky (-18.5% to 32.1 MMst), 

Illinois (-22.3% to 44.3 MMst), and Indiana (-10.4% to 30.2 MMst). States with an increase in reported 

productive capacity include Pennsylvania (+21.1% to 51.2 MMst) and West Virginia (+6.0% to 103.9 MMst).

The overall capacity utilization across all mines increased to 66.1% in 2021 from 57.2% in 2020. Capacity 

utilization is measured as the ratio of annual production to the annual productive capacity of mines. 

Recoverable reserves

Total U.S. recoverable coal reserves that are technologically and economically feasible to extract as reported by 

producers fell to 12,282 MMst at the end of 2021 from 13,201 MMst at the end of 2020. Although declines were 

reported for most states, increases were reported for Colorado and Pennsylvania. Recoverable reserves 

increased 47.3% to 284 MMst in Colorado and 40.5% to 1,370 MMst in Pennsylvania.

U.S. coal stocks in 2021 ended the year at 131.8 MMst, 27.8% lower than at the same time in 2020. Stocks in the 

electric power sector decreased by 39.6 MMst to 92.3 MMst at the end of 2021. Coal stocks held by the other 

industrial, coke, and commercial sectors, as well as producers and distributors, decreased 4.9 MMst to 23.5

MMst at the end of 2021 compared with the end of 2020.

Sales price

The total average sales price of coal from U.S. mines in 2021 increased by 16.1% from the 2020 level to $36.45

per short ton. The average sales price of thermal coal in 2021 increased by 3.7% from the 2020 level to $25.85

per short ton, and the average sales price of metallurgical coal in 2021 increased by 37.4% from the 2020 level 

to $151.97 per short ton. The average sales price of coal from surface mines increased by 3.1% to $21.32 per 

short ton, and it increased from underground mines by 21.5% to $60.49 per short ton. The average sales prices 

of coal by rank are as follows:

• Average sales price of bituminous coal was $61.68 per short ton in 2021, a 23.2% increase from the 2020

level.

1 Data through 1973 for bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, and lignite, and data through 1978 for anthracite, were originally reported in short tons per employee day these data were converted to short tons

per employee hour by assuming an eight-hour day. Through 1997, other data were calculated by dividing total production by total labor hours worked by all mine employees except office workers; beginning in

1998, the calculation also includes office workers.

2 Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery.

3 Through 1978, data for anthracite are not available by mining method, but are included in 'Total'.

* = Through 1978, subbituminous coal is included in 'Bituminous Coal'.

1 Because of withholding to protect company confidentiality, lignite prices exclude Texas for 1955- 1977 and Montana for 1974 1978. As a result, lignite prices for 1974-1977 are for North Dakota only.

2 See 'Nominal Dollars' in Glossary.

Notes: Prices are free-on-board (F.O.B.) rail/barge prices, which are the F.O.B. prices of coal at the point of first sale, excluding freight or shipping and insurance costs. Prices are for open market

and captive coal sales; see 'Captive Coal,' 'Free on Board (F.O.B.),' and 'Open Market Coal' in Glossary.

1 The coalbed ID number is a unique code assigned by EIA to each correlated coalbed or to coal-bearing geologic formations, coal groups, or coal zones. See Coalbed name discussion in note below.

2 Average thickness is the bed thickness weighted by bed production.

Notes: This table lists the top 25 producing coalbeds. The category 'Other Coalbeds' includes all coalbeds from which less than 4.0 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

4.0 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 Wyoming (coalbed codes 1495, 1699, and 1701); West Virginia (coalbed codes 212, 84, 111, 168, 103, 71); Illinois (coalbed code 484); Indiana

(coalbed code 489); Pennsylvania (coalbed code 36); North Dakota (coalbed codes 1569, 1570); Montana (coalbed codes 1696, 1808, 204); Virginia (coalbed code 344); Alabama (coalbed code 280); Utah(coalbed

code 1847); New Mexico (coalbed code 1003); Colorado (coalbed code 1756); West Virginia (coalbed codes 157, 176); Kentucky (coalbed code 151).In some other States where these are major producing beds, the

following alternative coalbed names are also used: coalbed code 484 (Kentucky, Kentucky No 11), coalbed code 489 (Indiana, Indiana No 5), coalbed code 36 (Pennsylvania/Ohio, Pittsburgh No. 8), coalbed code

111 (Kentucky, Hazard No 6).

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, and after applying assumed mining recovery rates. This estimate

does not include any specific economic feasibility criteria. The effective date for the demonstrated reserve base, as customarily worded, is 'Remaining as of January 1, 2022.' 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, 2021. 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.

2 Mines that produce coal using shortwall, scoop loading, hand loading, or other methods.

Notes: 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.
