Previous Quarterly Coal Data
The Quarterly Coal Report (QCR) provides detailed quarterly data on U.S. coal production, exports, imports, receipts, prices, consumption, and coal quality and stocks. Data on U.S. coke production, consumption, stocks, imports, and exports are also provided. Form EIA-3 frame analysis has resulted in data adjustments and revisions in the quarterly data for 2011 through the first quarter of 2012, and the addition of 33 refined coal and manufacturing facilities. All data for 2010 and prior years are final. All data for 2011 are final, with the exception of coal production and electric power sector consumption and stocks. All data for 2012 are preliminary.
