About this site
May 26, 2020 Bituminous coal accounted for about 48% of U.S. coal production in 2019. Anthracite contains 86%–97% carbon and has a heating value that is slightly higher on average than bituminous coal. Anthracite is the least abundant rank of coal in the United States, and it generally accounts for less than 1% of annual U.S. coal production.
About this site
The average FOB price for Australian prime coking coal in 2019 was about USD 176/t, a y-o-y drop of roughly 15%. In comparison, supply costs for coking coal decreased only slightly, indicating that the profitability of met coal production decreased. The supply cost curve for both high and low calorific thermal coal decreased from 2018 to 2019.

May 29, 2020 The Annual Coal Report (ACR) provides annual data on U.S. coal production, number of mines, productive capacity, recoverable reserves, employment, productivity, consumption, stocks, and prices. All data for 2019 and previous years are final. Highlights for 2019. U.S. coal production decreased 6.6% year over year to 706.3 million short tons (MMst).

About this site
Feb 16, 2018 While the cost profile of coal increases due to investments to maintain performance and comply with environmental regulations, the levelised cost of renewables (LCOE) is expected to decline. In the context of the US, the operating cost of coal could be higher than building new onshore wind by 2020 and solar PV by 2021.
