Previous Annual Coal / Coal Industry Annual Reports

The Annual Coal Report (ACR) provides annual data on U.S. coal production, prices, recoverable reserves, employment, productivity, productive capacity, consumption, and stocks. All data for 2011 and prior years are final.

Highlights for 2011:

  • U.S. coal production in 2011 increased slightly from 2010, driven by export demand, to roughly 1.1 billion short tons.
  • Production in the Western Region, which includes Wyoming, totaled 587.6 million short tons, a 0.7 percent decline from 2010.
  • In 2011, productive capacity of coal mines increased by 2.5 million short tons to 1.3 billion short tons.
  • The average number of employees in U.S. coal mines increased 6.3 percent to 91,611.
  • Domestic coal consumption of metallurgical coal by the coking industry rose 1.6 percent to 21.4 million short tons.
  • The average sales price of coal increased 15.2 percent to $41.01 per short ton.
