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. EIA publishes 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 EIA’s Form EIA-7A, Annual Survey of Coal Production and Preparation. 

Consumption and stocks are based on EIA survey forms. 

This report is EIA’s 43nd 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 2018 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

In this issue of the Annual Coal Report (ACR), EIA has added five new tables and revised six tables. 

Table ES-5, which presents the average export and import prices of metallurgical coal, non-metallurgical coal, and coke, was 

expanded to include 2001–2010 data. 

Tables 3, 13, 16, 22, and 29 present production, productive capacity and capacity utilization, recoverable reserves, 

productivity, and average sales price by state and mining method for underground mines. Previously, all data were allocated 

to the predominant mining method reported by each mine. We revised the methodology to allocate data based on the share 

of production reported for each mining method.

Tables 3.1, 13.1, 16.1, 22.1, and 29.1 are new tables presenting production, productive capacity and capacity utilization, 

recoverable reserves, productivity, and average sales price by state and mining method for surface mines. 

Production

In 2018, U.S. coal production decreased 2.4% to 756.2 million short tons (MMst) from 2017 levels, while the number of 

producing mines also decreased to 679 mines from 680 mines in 2017. Coal production in basins east of the Mississippi river 

increased 2.0% but was more than offset by production declines in western basins.

The Appalachian region’s coal production in 2018 was 200,177 MMst, an increase of 1.2% from 2017. West Virginia’s 

production increased 2.8% to 95.4 MMst, Pennsylvania’s production increased 1.6% to 49.9 MMst, and Eastern Kentucky’s 

production decreased 7.0% to 16.9 MMst. 

Coal production in the Interior region was 136.9 MMst, a decrease of 5.7% from 2017 levels. Production in Illinois increased 

2.8% to 49.6 MMst, production in Indiana increased 9.9% to 34.6 MMst, and production in Western Kentucky decreased 4.0% 

to 22.7 MMst. Production in the rest of the Interior region decreased 28.2% to 30.1 MMst, lead by a production decrease in 

Texas of 31.8% to 24.8 MMst.

Coal production in the Western region in 2018 decreased 2.9% to 418.3 MMst. Production in Wyoming, the largest coalproducing state in the region, decreased by 3.9% to 304.2 MMst. Other large producing states in the basin include Montana, 

where production increased by 9.6% to 38.6 MMst; Colorado, where production decreased by 6.8% to 14.0 MMst; and Utah, 

where production decreased by 4.9% to 13.6 MMst.

Disposition of coal during 2018 amounted to 755.9 MMst, of which 676.5 MMst was marketed as thermal coal, and 79.3

MMst was marketed as metallurgical coal. Of the metallurgical coal dispositions, 61.5 MMst was exported and 17.8 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 2018, 

the collective productive capacity of U.S. coal mines decreased 3.6% to 1,020.5 MMst. Major producing states that reported 

a decrease in productive capacity include Texas (-29.7% to 25.8 MMst), West Virginia (-6.9% to 121.0 MMst), Eastern Kentucky 

(-9.7% to 25.3 MMst), Virginia (-5.7% to 16.5 MMst), and Wyoming (-2.9% to 436.0 MMst)

The overall capacity utilization across all mines increased to 73.9% in 2018 from 73.0% in 2017. 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 15,216 MMst at the end of 2018 from 16,102 MMst at the end of 2017. Large producing states that reported an increase 

in recoverable reserves include Illinois, Indiana, Montana, and Utah.

Employment
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Annual Coal Report 2018 ix

The average number of employees at U.S. coal mines in 2018 increased by 532 from 2017 to 53,583 employees. The average 

number of employees at underground mines increased by 525 employees, and average employment at surface mines 

decreased by 32 employees. West Virginia, Alabama, and Montana had the largest increases in the average number of 

employees in 2018, increasing by 740 employees (5.6%), 304 employees (11.7%), and 165 employees (14.4%), respectively.

Total U.S. productivity as measured by average production per employee hour decreased by 4.8% to 6.23 short tons per 

employee hour. Productivity decreased by 3.1% in the Appalachian region to 2.85 tons per employee hour and by 3.2% in the 

Powder River Basin to 27.6 tons per employee hour. 

Consumption

U.S. coal consumption in 2018 was 688.1 MMst, a decline of 4.0% from 2018. Coal consumption in the electric power sector 

decreased by 27.8 MMst to 637.2 MMst. Coal consumption in the industrial, coke, and commercial and institutional sectors 

was 50.9 MMst in 2018, a 1.9% decrease from the 2017 level. 

Exports

Exports increased by 18.7 MMst in 2018 to 115.6 MMst. Europe was the largest destination of U.S. exports, amounting to 

43.8 MMst. Steam coal exports accounted for 54.1 MMst (47%) of the total, and metallurgical coal accounted for 61.5 MMst 

(53%).

Stocks

U.S. coal stocks in 2018 ended at 130.5 MMst, 21.9% lower than at the same time in 2017. Stocks in the electric power sector 

declined by 34.3 MMst to 103.5 MMst at the end of 2018. Coal stocks held by the other industrial, coke, and commercial

sectors, as well as producers and distributors, decreased by 2.3 MMst to 27.0 MMst at the end of 2018 compared with the 

end of 2017.

Sales price

The total average sales price of coal from U.S. mines in 2018 increased by 6.7% from 2017 levels to $35.99 per short ton. The 

average sales price of thermal coal in 2018 increased by 1.8% from 2017 levels to $27.02 per short ton, but the average sales 

price of metallurgical coal in 2018 increased 8.4% from 2017 levels to $144.00 per short ton. The average sales price of coal 

from surface mines and underground mines increased by 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, to $21.90 and $60.38 per short ton. 

The average sales prices of coal by rank are as follows:

• Average sales price of bituminous coal was $59.43 per short ton in 2018, a 6.9% increase from the 2017 level

• Average sales price of subbituminous coal was $13.64 per short ton in 2018, a 4.5% decrease from the 2017 level

• Average sales price of lignite coal was $20.21 per short ton in 2018, a 3.6% increase from the 2017 level

• Average sales price of anthracite coal was $99.97 per short ton in 2018, a 7.3% increase from the 2017 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, 2019.' 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, 2018. 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.
