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 47th 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 2022 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.

Executive Summary

Publication changes

We’ve made no publication changes in this issue of the Annual Coal Report.

Production

In 2022, U.S. coal production increased 2.9% to 594.2 million short tons (MMst) from 2021, while the number of 

producing mines increased to 548 mines from 512 mines in 2021. Coal production in basins east of the 

Mississippi river increased 4.6%, and production increased 1.8% in basins west of the Mississippi river.

The Appalachian region’s coal production in 2022 was 160.5 MMst, an increase of 3.5% from 2021. West 

Virginia’s production increased 6.3% to 83.4 MMst, Eastern Kentucky’s production increased 19.4% to 12.1

MMst, and Pennsylvania’s production decreased 6.5% to 39.7 MMst. 

Coal production in the Interior region was 98.3 MMst, an increase of 5.5% from 2021. Production in Indiana 

increased 21.1% to 23.6 MMst , production in Illinois increased 2.4% to 37.5 MMst, and production in Western 

Kentucky increased 0.8% to 16.4 MMst. Production in the rest of the Interior region increased 0.2% to 20.8

MMst, led by a production increase in Mississippi of 5.3% to 3.4 MMst.

Coal production in the Western region in 2022 increased 1.9% to 334.8 MMst. Production in Wyoming, the 

largest coal-producing state in the region, increased by 2.5% to 244.7 MMst. Other large producing states in the 

basin include North Dakota, where production increased by 0.8% to 26.7 MMst; Colorado, where production 

increased by 7.7% to 12.8 MMst; and Montana, where production decreased by 1.2% to 28.2 MMst.

Disposition of coal during 2022 totaled 593.2 MMst, of which 532.3 MMst was marketed as thermal coal and 

60.9 MMst was marketed as metallurgical coal. Of the metallurgical coal dispositions, 46.5 MMst was exported, 

and 14.5 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 2022, the collective productive capacity of U.S. coal mines increased 0.1% to 872 MMst. Major 

producing states that reported an increase in productive capacity include Virginia (7.9% to 13.3 MMst) and West 

Virginia (7.1% to 111.2 MMst). States with a decrease in reported productive capacity include Texas (-6.7% to 

17.2 MMst) and Utah (-9.6% to 18.0 MMst).

The overall capacity utilization across all mines increased to 68.0% in 2022 from 66.1% in 2021. 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 11,737 MMst at the end of 2022 from 12,282 MMst at the end of 2021. Although declines were 

reported for most states, increases were reported for Alabama, Eastern Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, and West 

Virginia. Recoverable reserves increased 7.9% to 186 MMst in Alabama and 23.1% to 1,809 MMst in West 

Virginia.

U.S. coal stocks in 2022 ended the year at 114.3 MMst, 1.2% lower than at the same time in 2021. Stocks in the 

electric power sector decreased by 3.1 MMst to 89.2 MMst at the end of 2022. Coal stocks held by the other 

industrial, coke, and commercial sectors, as well as producers and distributors, increased 1.6 MMst to 25.1

MMst at the end of 2022 compared with the end of 2021.

Sales price

The total average sales price of coal from U.S. mines in 2022 increased by 49.4% from 2021 to $54.46 per short 

ton. The average sales price of thermal coal in 2022 increased by 33.7% from 2021 to $34.57 per short ton, and 

the average sales price of metallurgical coal in 2022 increased by 72.9% from 2021 to $262.72 per short ton. The 

average sales price of coal from surface mines increased by 37.0% to $29.20 per short ton, and the average sales 

price of coal from underground mines increased by 59.5% to $96.47 per short ton. The average sales prices of 

coal by rank are as follows:

• Average sales price of bituminous coal was $97.96 per short ton in 2022, a 58.8% increase from 2021.

• Average sales price of subbituminous coal was $16.55 per short ton in 2022, a 16.7% increase from 

2021.

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'.

1 Net imports equal imports minus exports. Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports.

2 Producer and distributor stocks at end of year. A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks; a positive value indicates an increase.

3 'Consumption' is calculated as the sum of production and imports minus exports and stock change.

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

* = 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, 2023.' 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, 2022. 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.
